Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor system could result in

serious injury or death.
.The RearView Monitor is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows, and check mirrors
to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always
back up slowly.
. The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in showing large stationary
objects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used as
a reference only when the vehicle is
on a level paved surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor is for refer-
ence only and may be different than
the actual distance between the
vehicle and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle in the upper display when the shift lever is shifted into
the R (Reverse) position. When activating
the RearView Monitor, the guide lines, the
icons and the messages may not be dis-
played immediately.
The radio can still be heard while the Rear-
View Monitor is active.
WAE0234X
To display the rear view, the RearView
Monitor system uses a cameralocated
just above the vehicle’s license plate.
REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ON position,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
position to operate the RearView Monitor.

WAE0241X
HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with refer-
ence to the bumper line
are displayed on
the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
. Red line
: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
:
Indicate the approximate vehicle width. Predictive course lines
:
Indicate the predictive course when backing
up. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the
steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering wheel is
in the neutral position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width
of the predictive course lines are wider than
the actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRE-
DICTIVE AND ACTUAL DIS-
TANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces
or projecting objects will be actually located
at distances different from those displayed
in the monitor relative to the guide lines
(refer to illustrations). When in doubt, turn
around and view the objects as you are
backing up, or park and exit the vehicle to
view the positioning of objects behind the
vehicle.
WAE0525X
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
farther than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the monitor.
WAE0527X
Backing up near a projecting object
The predictive course linesdo not touch
the object in the display. However, the
vehicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual backing up course.
SAA2244
Backing up behind a projecting
object
The positionis shown farther than the
positionin the display. However, the
positionis actually at the same distance
as the position. The vehicle may hit the
object when backing up to the positionif

the object projects over the actual backing
up course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDIC-
TIVE COURSE LINES
WARNING
.If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in the
rear center of the vehicle.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform
the following procedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the engine is running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
WAE0528X
1. Visually check that the parking space is safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
when the shift lever is
moved to the R (Reverse) position.
WAE0529X
3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the steering wheel so that the predictive
course lines
enter the parking space.
4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
parallel to
the parking spacewhile referring to
the predictive course lines.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.The system cannot completely elim-
inate blind spots and may not show
every object.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView Monitor
because of its monitoring range lim-
itation. The system will not show
small objects below the bumper, and
may not show objects close to the
bumper or on the ground.
. Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens 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 reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road conditions and
road grade.
. Make sure that the trunk lid is
securely closed when backing up.
. Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled 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 condensation on the
lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric
shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
. 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 fluorescent
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.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display object clearly. Clean the camera.
. Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.
