Operation Manual

When the selector lever is shifted into the
“R” (Reverse) position, the monitor display
shows view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary objects
to help avoid damaging the vehicle. The
system will not detect small objects below
the bumper and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
WARNING
. The RearView camera is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
backing up. Always turn and check that
it is safe to do so before backing up.
Always back up slowly.
. 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 like ones viewed in the inside
and outside mirrors.
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the RearView monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation.
. 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 malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera. Do
not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or
snow from the cover.
