is used.
. Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite
compared to when viewed in the
rearview and outside mirrors.
. Use the displayed lines as a re-
ference. The lines are highly af-
fected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle po-
sition, road conditions and road
grade.
. Make sure that the trunk lid is
securely closed when backing up.
. Do not put anything on the rear-
view camera. The rearview cam-
era is installed above the license
plate.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not
to spray it around the camera.
Otherwise, water may enter the
camera unit causing water con-
densation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise,
it may malfunction or cause da-
mage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock. The following are operating limitations
and do not represent a system malfunc-
tion:
.
When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects.
. When strong light is directly coming
on the camera, objects may not be
displayed clearly.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects
on the screen. This is due to strong
reflected light from the bumper.
. The screen may flicker under fluores-
cent light.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from
the actual color of objects.
. Objects on the monitor may not be
clear in a dark environment.
. There may be a delay when switching
to the RearView Monitor screen.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on
the camera, the RearView Monitor
may not display objects clearly. Clean
the camera.
. Do not use wax on the camera win-
dow. Wipe off any wax with a clean
cloth dampened with mild detergent
diluted with water.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
.Do not use alcohol, benzine or
thinner to clean the camera. This
will cause discoloration. To clean
the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wipe
with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases;
they contain colorless and odor-
less carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can
cause unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive
with all windows fully open, and
have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment. If you must
drive with the trunk lid open,
follow these precautions:
a. Open all the windows.
b. Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high
to circulate the air. .
The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a quali-
fied mechanic whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for ser-
vice.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the
passenger compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the ex-
haust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYSTThe three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures
to help reduce pollutants.
