●Do not wipe the camera with alco-
hol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may
occur. To remove contamination,
wipe the camera with a cloth
moistened with a diluted neutral
detergent. Then wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.
●When waxing the vehicle, be care-
ful not to apply the wax to the
camera. If it comes in contact with
the camera, moisten a clean cloth
with a diluted neutral detergent to
remove the wax.
●The camera lens has a hard coat-
ing to help prevent scratches.
However, when washing the vehi-
cle or cleaning the camera lens,
be careful not to scratch the cam-
era lens. Do not use a washing
brush directly on the camera lens.
The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
●Strong light shined on the camera lens may develop vertical lines
around the light source. This is not
a malfunction.
●Under the fluore
scent light, the
display may flicker. However, this
is not a malfunction.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era may be slightly different from
the actual color of the objects.
●If there is a mal function on the
multimedia system screen, refer to
“MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MAN-
UAL”.
Rear view camera
A rear view camera is
attached to the trunk lid.
When the engine switch is
in ON and the shift lever is
set to R, the rear view cam-
era automatically displays
the rear view image behind
the vehicle on the multime-
dia system screen.
WARNING
●Since the rear view camera
uses a wide-angle lens, the
image on the monitor is different
from the actual view in terms of
distance.
●Since the range of the image on
the monitor is limited, always
check the rear view and the sur-
rounding area with your eyes
and mirrors, and move back-
ward at a slow speed. Moving
backward only by checking the
rear view image from the cam-
era could cause an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a
strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection. Continued use
may result in accident, fire or
electric shock.
NOTICE
●When washing your vehicle with
a high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to touch the camera
directly. Entry of water in the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.
