1787-1. Rear view monitor system
4RUNNER_NAVI_(U)
7-1.Rear view monitor system
●The screen illustrations used in
this text are intended as exam-
ples, and may differ from the
image that is actually displayed on
the screen.
The rear view monitor system is
a supplemental device intended
to assist the driver when back-
ing up. When backing up, be
sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and
using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may
hit another vehicle, and could
possibly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following
precautions when using the rear
view monitor system.
Rear view monitor sys-
tem
The rear view monitor sys-
tem assists the driver by
displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle with
fixed guide lines on the
screen while backing up, for
example while parking.
Driving precautions
WA R N I N G
●Never depend on t he 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 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 con-
ditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc.
when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware o f 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 t he following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the back door 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.

Phone
4RUNNER_NAVI_(U)
●This system is not guaranteed to
operate with all Bluetooth®
devices.
●If your cellular phone does not
support Bluetooth®, this system
cannot function.
●In the following conditions, the
system may not function:
• The cellular phone is turned off.
• The current position is outside the
communication area.
• The cellular phone is not con-
nected.
• The cellular phone has a low bat- tery.
●Depending on the type of Blue-
tooth® phone, some function is
not available.
●When using the hands-free sys-
tem or Bluetooth® audio and
Wi-Fi® hotspot functions at the
same time, the following problems
may occur:
• The Bluetooth
® connection may
be cut.
• Noise may be heard on the Blue-
tooth
® audio playback.
• A noise may be heard during phone calls.
●Bluetooth® uses the 2.4 GHz fre-
quency band. If both a Wi-Fi® con-
nection and Bluetooth®
connection are being used simul-
taneously, each connection may
be affected.
●If a Bluetooth® device is attempt-
ing to connect to the vehicle while
another device is connected as a
Bluetooth
® audio device or con-
nected using the hands-free sys-
tem or Wi-Fi
® hotspot function, the
communication speed may
decrease or malfunctions may
occur, such as image distortion or
audio skipping. If a Bluetooth
®
device is connected to the system,
the interference it may cause will
be reduced. When carrying a
device with its Bluetooth
® connec-
tion enabled, make sure to regis-
ter it to the system and connect it
or disable its Bluetooth
® function.
●When a device is connected via
Bluetooth®, the Bluetooth® icon
on the status bar will be displayed
in blue. ( P. 1 6 )
Some basics
The hands-free system
enables calls to be made
and received without having
to take your hands off the
steering wheel.
This system supports Blue-
tooth
®. Bluetooth® is a wire-
less data system that
enables cellular phones to
be used without being con-
nected by a cable or placed
in a cradle.
The operating procedure of
the phone is explained here.
When an Apple CarPlay
connection is established,
phone functions will be per-
formed by Apple CarPlay
instead of the hands-free
system.
