the mirrors before proceed-
ing.
If washer fluid remains on the
camera lens surface after
cleaning, the image may be
difficult to see at night due to
the height or inclination of the
headlights of the vehicle
behind.
Some dirts may not be
removed completely after
cleaning. In this case, rinse
the camera lens with a large
quantity of water and then
wipe it clean with a soft cloth
dampened with water.
Washer fluid is sprayed onto
the camera lens surface.

• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of
water to the camera or camera
area. Doing so may result in the
