*: If equipped
●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 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 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 trunk is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or
slopes

• The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide line
This line indicates the estimated
vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line

1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) from the edge
of the bumper.
Distance guide line
Shows distance behind the vehicle.
• Displays a point approximately 3 ft. (1 m) (blue) fr om the edge of
the bumper.
The rear view monitor system is
canceled when the shift position
is shifted into any position other
than the “R” position.

●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.185)

Peripheral monitoring system
The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear area
of the vehicle.Corners of bumper
 The area around both corners
of the bumper will not be dis-
played.
●The image adjustment procedure
for the rear view monitor system
screen is the same as the proce-
dure for adjusting the screen.
(  P. 3 6 )
●The area displayed on the screen
may vary according to vehicle ori-
entation 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 dis-
played on the monitor.
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.

■Cleaning the rear camera
with washer fluid
Dirt on the rear camera lens can
be cleaned by operating the
dedicated camera cleaning washer. For details, refer to
“OWNER’S MANUAL”.

When cleaning the camera, it
may be difficult to see the
image due to the washer fluid.
When backing up, be sure to
visually check all around the
vehicle both directly and using
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.
Therefore, the ice, snow, etc.
adhering around the camera
cannot be removed.
NOTICE
●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.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe it
with a soft and wet cloth.
Strongly rubbing the camera
lens may cause the camera lens
to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a
glass coating to adhere to the
camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• 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
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to
strong impact as this could
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
NOTICE
●Do not strike or hit the washer
nozzle or subject it to a strong
impact, as the washer nozzle
installation position and angle
may be changed.

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 visually.
 The distances between the
vehicle 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
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the 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 vehi-
cle 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 guide lines will
appear to be farther 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.
Differences between the
screen and the actual
road

1867-1. Rear view monitor system
■When any part of the vehi-
cle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of the
load, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on
the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
A margin of error 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 vehicle width guide lines and
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
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.
