Owner's Manual

When the shift lever is shifted into the R (Re-
verse) position, the monitor display shows a rear-
ward view from the vehicle.
WARNING
● The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
● The rear view camera is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing up. Always turn and check that it is
safe to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
● 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 rear view
camera. The rear view 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 wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.
● Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the lens.
