■Area displayed on screen Corners of bumper
The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear area
of the vehicle.
The image adjustment proce-
dure for the rear view monitor
system screen is the same as
the procedure for adjusting the
screen. ( P.274)
 The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to
vehicle orientation conditions.
 Objects which are close to
either corner of the bumper or
under the bumper cannot be
displayed. 
The camera uses a special
lens. The distance of the
image that appears on the
screen differs from the actual
distance.
 Items which are located
higher than the camera may
not be displayed on the moni-
tor.
■Rear view monitor system
camera
The camera for the rear view
monitor system is located as
shown in the illustration.
 Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud etc.) is
adhering to the camera, it cannot
transmit a clear image. In this case,
flush it with a large quantity of water
and wipe the camera lens clean
with a soft and wet cloth.
■Differences between the
screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the
vehicle width guide lines may
not actually be parallel with the
dividing lines of the parking
space, even when they appear

to be so. Be sure to check visu-
ally.
The distances between the vehi-
cle width guide lines and the left
and right dividing lines of the
parking space may not be equal,
even when they appear to be
so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a
distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following sit-
uations, there is a margin of
error between the fixed guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
When the ground behind the
vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will appear
to be closer to the vehicle than the
actual distance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be farther away than they actually are. In the
same way, there will be a margin of
error between the guide lines and
the actual distance/course on the
road.

When the ground behind the
vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance gui de lines will appear
to be further from the vehicle than
the actual distance. Because of
this, objects will appear to be closer
than they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of error
between the guide lines and the
actual distance/course on the road.
 When any part of the vehicle
sags

A margin of error
When any part of the vehicle sags
due to the number of passengers or
the distribution of the load, there is
a margin of error between the fixed
guide lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the road.
■When approaching
three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are dis-
played according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is
not possible to determine the
position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using
the distance guide lines. When
approaching a three-dimen-
sional object that extends out-
ward (such as the flatbed of a
truck), be careful of the follow-
ing.
 Vehicle width guide lines Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck
appears to be outside of the vehicle
width guide lines and the vehicle
does not look as if it hits the truck.
However, the rear body of the truck
may actually cross over the vehicle
width guide lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the vehicle
width guide lines, the vehicle may
hit the truck.

WARNING
■When using the rear view
monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a
supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when backing up.
When backing up, be sure to visu-
ally check all around the vehicle
both directly and using the mirrors
before proceeding. Observe the
following precautions to avoid an
accident that could result in death
or serious injuries.
●Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. The image and the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may differ
from the actual state. Use cau-
tion, 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 con-
ditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc.
when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before
using the rear view monitor sys-
tem.
●When parking, be sure to check
that the parking space will
accommodate your vehicle
before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the rear view moni-
tor system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the trunk is not closed completely
• 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 vehicle is mov-
ing, 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 mirrors 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 pedestrians that appear in
the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual
distances. ( P.243)
NOTICE
■How to use the camera
●The rear view monitor system
may not operate properly in the
following cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle
of the camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not
detach, disassemble or modify
it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
