●Never depend on the Multi-ter-
rain Monitor entirely. The image
and the position of the guide
lines displayed on the screen
may differ from the actual state.

when driving any other vehicle.
●Always make sure to check all
around the vehicle with your
own eyes when driving.

the screen as the image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. If you are driving
while looking only at the screen,
you may hit a person or an
object, resulting in an accident.
When driving, be sure to check
the vehicle’s surroundings with
your own eyes and the vehicle’s
mirrors.
