The Multi-terrain Monitor
helps the driver to check the
vehicle surroundings. It
assists in determining the
conditions around the
driver in a variety of situa-
tions, such as when judging
conditions during off-road
driving or checking for
obstacles when parking.
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions
to avoid an accident that could
result in death or serious injuries.
■When using the Multi-terrain
Monitor system
●Never rely solely on the Multi-
terrain Monitor. As with
unequipped vehicles, drive
carefully while directly confirm-
ing the safety of your surround-
ings and the area to the rear of
the vehicle. Take particular care
to avoid parked cars and other
obstacles.
●Due to the characteristics of the
camera lens, the actual position
and distance of people and
other obstacles will differ from
those shown on the Multi-terrain
Monitor screen. Directly con-
firm the safety of your surround-
ings before driving.
●Do not drive while only looking
at the screen. When driving,
make sure to directly confirm
the safety of your surroundings,
such as by visually checking the
area and using the vehicle’s
mirrors.
●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the images may
become faint. Images of moving
objects in particular may distort
or disappear from the screen.
Therefore, make sure to drive
carefully while directly visually
confirming the safety of your
surroundings.
