Rear View Monitor is not a
safety device. It only serves to
assist the driver in identifying
objects directly behind the
middle of the vehicle. The
camera does not cover the
complete area behind the
vehicle.
Never rely solely on the rear
view monitor. As there are
blind spots that do not appear
on the camera while backing
up and parking, You must
always use methods of view-
ing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors.
Always look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any
direction to prevent a collision.
(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.
Always keep the camera lens
clean. If lens is covered with
foreign matter, the camera
may not operate normally.
When stopping for a long time
in winter or parking in an
indoor parking lot, the image
may temporarily be blurry due
to exhaust gas.

ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, side view mirrors, and all side

Windshield heating
Do not use the or posi-
tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-
ature of the outside air and that
of the windshield could cause
the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, causing loss of
visibility could cause an acci-
dent resulting in serious or
death. In this case, set the mode
selection knob or button to the
position and fan speed con-
trol knob or button to a lower
speed.

Detecting Sensor
The rear corner radars are located
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side and rear areas. Always keep
the rear bumper clean for proper
operation of the system. The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surroundings of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check your
surroundings before chang-
ing lanes or backing the vehi-
cle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some situations due
to system limitations so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
WARNING
Always pay attention to road
and traffic conditions while
driving, whether or not the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system warning sounds.
The warning of Blind-Spot
Collision Warning system may
not sound while other sys-
tem's warning sounds.
