Limitations of Rear View Monitor
 When the vehicle is stopped for along time in winter or when the
vehicle is parked in an indoor park-
ing lot, the exhaust fumes may
temporarily blur the image.WARNING
Rear View Monitor is not a
safety device. It only serves to
assist the driver in identifying
objects directly behind the
middle of the vehicle. The
camera does not cover the
complete area behind the
vehicle.
 Never rely solely on the rear
view monitor. As there are
blind spots that do not appear
on the camera while backing
up and parking, You must
always use methods of view-
ing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any
direction to prevent a colli-
sion.
 Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.
 If the camera lens is covered
with foreign material, Rear
View Monitor may not operate
normally. Always keep the
camera lens clean. However,
do not use chemical solvents
such as strong detergents
containing high alkaline or
volatile organic solvents
(gasoline, acetone etc.). This
may damage the camera lens.
 When stopping for a long time
in winter or parking in an
indoor parking lot, the image
may temporarily be blurry due
to the exhaust gas.
