• Underneath the bumper and thecorner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView Monitor
because of its monitoring range
limitation. The system will not show
small objects below the bumper,
and may not show objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
• Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
• Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear visually opposite compared
to when viewed in the rearview and
outside mirrors.
• Use the displayed lines as a refer- ence. The lines are highly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road conditions
and road grade.
• Make sure that the rear hatch is se- curely closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate. • When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray
it around the camera. Otherwise,
water may enter the camera unit
causing water condensation on the
lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric
shock.
• Do not strike the camera. It is a pre- cision instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage re-
sulting in a fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.
• When strong light directly shines on the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected
light from the bumper.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light. • The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.
• Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a dark environment.
• There may be a delay when switching be- tween views.
• If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the camera, RearView Monitor may not dis-
play objects clearly. Clean the camera.
• Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.

WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the ve- hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on
a paved, level surface. The apparent
distance viewed on the monitor may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects. • Use the displayed lines and the
bird’s eye view as a reference. The
lines and the bird’s-eye view are
greatly affected by the number of
occupants, cargo, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road
grade.
• If the tires are replaced with differ- ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines and the bird’s-eye view may be
displayed incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are
further than they appear. When driv-
ing the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer
than they appear.
• Objects in the rear view will appear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other
objects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines and the
actual course line. • The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the ac-
tual width and course.
• The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the
rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
