2504-6. Using other driving systems
When the shift lever is set to R,
the rear view camera automati-
cally displays the rear view
image from the vehicle. When
the lever is set to other posi-
tions, the image before setting
to R is displayed.
1Set the ignition switch to ON.
2 Set the shift lever to R.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era is horizontally reversed as is
the case with the vehicle inside mirror or the outside mirror.
●When “Rear Camera Delay Con-
trol” is on, the r
ear view image
from the r ear view camera will be
displayed on the multimedia sys-
tem screen for a certain amount of
time after the shift lever is shifted
from R to another position. When
any of the following conditions are
met, the rear view image will be
canceled:
• The shift lever is shifted to P (vehi- cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
• The vehicle speed becomes approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more
• The parking brake is engaged
• 9 seconds have elapsed since the shift lever was shifted from R to
another position
To turn the function on and off, refer
to “MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MAN-
UAL”.
●It may be difficult to see the image
of the rear view camera in the fol-
lowing cases. This is not a mal-
function of the camera.
• The vehicle is in a dark place (at night, in a tunnel, etc.).
• The vehicle is in an extremely hot or cold place.
• An object (such as raindrops,
snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the
view of the rear view camera
sticks to the lens of the camera.
• Strong light is shining directly on the camera lens ( occasionally,
there are vertical lines on the
screen).
The area from the rear end of
the bumper can be viewed.
Areas at both ends of the
bumper and areas just under the
bumper cannot be viewed.
NOTICE
●Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to
strong impacts. Otherwise, mal-
function, fire or electric shock
may occur.
●If mud or snow sticks to or is fro-
zen on the camera, you must be
very careful when removing it.
Otherwise, damage to the cam-
era may cause a fire or electric
shock. Pour water or lukewarm
water over the camera to
remove mud and ice, and wipe
it with a soft, dry cloth.
●Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wirin g. Otherwise,
damage or fire may occur.
●When replacing the fuse, be
sure to use a fuse with the spec-
ified rating. Use of a fuse with a
different rating may result in a
malfunction.
●If you use the rear view camera
for a long time while the engine
is not operated, the battery may
become completely discharged.
