●Never  depend  on  the  rear  view  monitor
system  entirely  when  backing  up.  The
image and the position of the guide lines
displayed  on  the  screen  may  differ  from
the actual state.
Use  caution,  just  as  you  would  when
backing up any vehicle.
● Be  sure  to  back  up  slowly,  depressing
the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
● The  instructions  given  are  only  guide-
lines.  When  and  how  much  to  turn  the
steering  wheel  will  vary  according  to
traffic  conditions,  road  surface  condi-
tions,  vehicle  condition,  etc.  when  park-
ing.  It  is  necessary  to  be  fully  aware  of
this  before  using  the  rear  view  monitor
system.
● When parking, be sure to check that the
parking  space  will  accommodate  your
vehicle before maneuvering into it.

●Do not use the rear view monitor system
in the following cases:
• On  icy  or  slick  road  surfaces,  or  in
snow
• When  using  tire  chains  or  emergency tires
• When the back door is not closed com- pletely
• On  roads  that  are  not  flat  or  straight,
such as curves or slopes.
● In  low  temperatures,  the  screen  may
darken  or  the  image  may  become  faint.
The  image  could  distort  when  the  vehi-
cle  is  moving,  or  you  may  become
unable  to  see  the  image  on  the  screen.
Be  sure  to  visually  check  all  around  the
vehicle  both  directly  and  using  the  mir-
rors before proceeding.
● If the tire sizes are changed, the position
of  the  fixed  guide lines displayed on  the
screen may change.
● The  camera  uses  a  special  lens.  The
distances between objects and pedestri-
ans  that  appear  in  the  image  displayed
on  the  screen  will  differ  from  the  actual
distances. ( P.156)
