SPA2143
Manual anti-glare type
The night positionwill reduce glare from
the headlights of vehicles behind you at
night.
Use the day position
when driving in
daylight hours.
WARNING
Use the night position only when neces-
sary, because it reduces rear view clarity.
SPA2422A
Type A (if so equipped)
SPA2450
Type B (if so equipped)
Automatic anti-glare type
The inside mirror is designed so that it
automatically changes reflection according
to the intensity of the headlights of the
following vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automatically
turned on when the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position.
The anti-glare system also operates for the
outside mirrors (if so equipped).
When the anti-glare system is turned on, the
indicator light
will illuminate and excessive
glare from the headlights of the vehicle
behind you will be reduced.
Type A (if so equipped): Push the
switchto make the inside mirror operate normally
and the indicator light will turn off. Push the
switchagain to turn the system on.
Type B (if so equipped): Push the “*” switch
to make the inside mirror operate nor-
mally. The indicator light will turn off. Push
the “I” switch
to turn the system on.
Do not allow any object to cover the sensors
or apply glass cleaner on them. Doing so
will reduce the sensitivity of the sensor,
resulting in improper operation.
For the compass (if so equipped) operation,
see “Compass” (P.2-9).

Backing up near a projecting object
The predictive course linesdo not touch
the object in the display. However, the
vehicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual backing up course.
SAA2244
Backing up behind a projecting
object
The positionis shown farther than the
positionin the display. However, the
positionis actually at the same distance
as the position. The vehicle may hit the
object when backing up to the positionif how to park with the object projects over
the actual backing up course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDIC-
TIVE COURSE LINES
WARNING
.
If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in the
rear center of the vehicle.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform
the following procedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the engine is running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.The system cannot completely elim-
inate blind spots and may not show
every object.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView Monitor
because of its monitoring range lim-
itation. 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 reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road conditions and
road grade.
. Make sure that the trunk lid is
securely 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
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting 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 is directly coming 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 to
the RearView Monitor.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display object 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.

Available views
WARNING
.The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used as
a reference only when the vehicle is
on a paved, level surface. The dis-
tance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and 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 af-
fected by the number of occupants,
fuel level, vehicle position, road con-
dition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
farther 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.
. The distance between objects viewed
in the rear view differs from actual
distance because a wide-angle lens is
used.
. 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 actual
width and course.
. The displayed lines on the rear view
will appear slightly off to the right
because the rearview camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.

be displayed on the monitor when the
steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines (
and) will move depending
on how much the steering wheel is turned.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther than the actual dis-
tance.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera posi-
tion alters.
. A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned and is not seen as being
straight at the seam of the views.
The misalignment will increase as the
line proceeds away from the vehicle.
. Tire angle display does not indicate
the actual tire angle.

enter the parking space.
4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
parallel to
the parking spacewhile referring to
the predictive course lines.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle
in accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental
conditions and surrounding objects
such as:
— When there is low contrast be- tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
— When there is blinking source of light.
— When strong light such as an- other vehicle’s headlight or sun-
light is present.
— When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when
mirror is folded.
