CAUTION
■
When using the rear view monitor system, observe the following pre-
cautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or serious inju-
ries.
●
Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
●
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
●
Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle's surroundings, as the displayed
image may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or
not entirely visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up,
be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with the
mirrors before proceeding.
●
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
●
Do not use the system if the back door is open.
