CAUTION
When using the rear view monitor system
■
When backing up, be sure to check visually behind and all around the vehicle
before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death
or serious injuries.
The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist the
●
driver when backing up. Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely
when backing up. Always make sure your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at the screen.
●
The image shown on the screen may differ from the actual state, and you could
collide with another vehicle or obstacles if backing up looking only at the screen,
possibly causing an accident. When backing up, be sure to check in front of and
behind the vehicle, both directly and with mirrors.
Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic con-
●
ditions, road surface conditions, vehicle condition, etc. when parking. It is neces-
sary to be fully aware of this before using the rear view monitor system.
When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your
●
vehicle before maneuvering into it.
Do not use system in the following cases:
●
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains
• When the trunk lid is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes.
In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
●
image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to
see the image on the screen. Be sure to check direct visually and with mirror all
around the vehicle before proceeding.
If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the
●
screen may change.
The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians
●
that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual dis-
tances. (P. 301)
