REAR VIEW MONITOR

SYSTEM

The rear view monitor system assists the
driver by displaying an image of the view
behind the vehicle while backing up, for
example while parking.
INFORMATION
●The screen illustrations used in this text
are intended as examples, and may differ
from the image that is actually displayed
on the screen.

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

The rear view monitor system is a sup-
plemental device intended to assist the
driver when backing up. When backing
up, be sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and using the
mirrors before proceeding. If you do
not, you may hit another vehicle, and
could possibly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following precau-
tions when using the rear view monitor
system.

CAUTION
●Never depend on the rear view monitor
system entirely when backing up.
Use caution, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the
brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●When parking, be sure to check that the
parking space will accommodate your
vehicle before maneuvering into it.
●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
visually check all around the vehicle both
directly and using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding.
●The camera uses a special lens. The dis-
tances between objects and pedestrians
that appear in the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual dis-
tances. (See page 401.)
