6. SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: A failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions may result in a serious
accident, including damaged property or a serious injury, including loss of life.
• The Wired Behindsight™ Camera is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle. However, you, the driver, must use it safely and
properly. Use of the Wired BehindSight™ Camera 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 Wired BehindSight™
Camera. 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 Wired BehindSight™ Camera 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 Wired BehindSight™ Camera "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
with mirrors before proceeding.
• The area displayed by the Wired BehindSight™ Camera is limited. The Wired BehindSight™
Camera 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.
• 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 Wired BehindSight™
Camera 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.
