WARNING
When using the rear view moni-

The rear view monitor system is a
supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when backing up.
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.
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when back-
ing up. The image and the position
of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may differ from the actual
state. Use caution, just as you
would when backing up any vehi-
cle.
Solution
Have the vehicle
inspected by your
Toyota dealer.

The instructions given are only
guide lines. When and how much to
turn the steering wheel will vary
according to traffic conditions, road
surface conditions, vehicle condi-
tion, 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 accom-
modate your vehicle before maneu-
vering into it.
Do not use the rear view monitor
system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in
snow
• When using tire chains
• When the back door 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 dis-
tort 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 the
mirrors all around the vehicle
before proceeding.
If the tire sizes are changed, the
position of the fixed guide lines dis-
played 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 distances.
