User's Manual

Use of the Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-Up Camera with
Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free System is not a substitute for
safe, proper and legal driving.
• Never back up while looking only at the screen. You
should always check behind and around the vehicle
when backing up just as you would if the vehicle did not
have the Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-Up Camera with
Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Speakerphone System. Always
make sure your intended path is clear. If you back up
while looking only at the monitor, you may hit a vehicle,
pedestrian, bicyclist, child, pet or other object resulting in
injury or death. Always back up slowly.
• Never depend on the Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-Up
Camera with Bluetooth® Hands-Free Speakerphone
System entirely when backing up. The image on the
screen is different from actual conditions. Objects
viewed in the rear view monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the rear
view monitor will appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
• The Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-Up Camera with
Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Speakerphone System’s “night
vision” feature is an aid to a driver but is limited. Always
use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings,
as the displayed image may be faint or dark, distorted, or
not entirely visible. Always check behind and all around
the vehicle visually and with mirrors before proceeding.
• The area displayed by the Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-
Up Camera with Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Speakerphone
System is limited. The Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-Up
Camera with Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Speakerphone
System does not display objects that are close to or
below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or objects out
of the camera’s field of view. The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or road
conditions.
• The Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-Up Camera with
Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Speakerphone System is not
intended for use during longer backing maneuvers or
backing into potential crossing traffic or pedestrians.
Crossing traffic or pedestrians may be approaching
outside of the camera’s field of view.
• Be sure to check the camera’s position and mounting
angle before each use.
• Make sure the trunk, hatch, or backdoor is completely
and securely closed when backing up.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting
angle of the Rearview Mirror Vehicle Back-Up Camera
with Bluetooth® Hands-Free Speakerphone System may
change.
• 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.
