WARNING
This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.
WHEN USING A CAMERA SYSTEM, THE DRIVER MUST
VISUALLY CHECK ACTUAL CONDITIONS AROUND
THE VEHICLE. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PERSONS
OR ANIMALS IN THE AREA IN WHICH YOU ARE
MANEUVERING OTHERWISE YOU COULD INJURE THEM.
A camera assists the driver by sending images to the screen
showing conditions in view of the camera. The camera uses
a wide-angle lens, therefore, there is a difference in distance
perspective between what is normally seen and what appears
on the screen. Also, the images shown by the rearview camera
are reversed, so as to appear the same as what is seen through
the rearview mirror.
The camera may not perform to full capability due to
variables such as:
•
weather conditions such as hard rain, snow, fog or mud
•
extremely high or low temperatures near camera
•
slope of vehicle and/or roadway
•
direct exposure to very bright light such as headlamp or
bright sunlight
•
moving from very dark to very bright light and vice versa
such as in parking garages or tunnels
•
extremely low light areas
•
walls or objects that are located diagonally in relation to
the camera
•
retracted mirrors that change camera viewing angle
•
open doors or trunks
•
changes to height of vehicle due to loading capacity or
hydraulic suspensions
•
objects located at the corner of the vehicle
WHEN USING AN OBJECT SENSOR SYSTEM, THE
DRIVER MUST VISUALLY CHECK ACTUAL CONDITIONS
AROUND THE VEHICLE. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO
PERSONS OR ANIMALS IN THE AREA IN WHICH YOU ARE
MANEUVERING OTHERWISE YOU COULD INJURE THEM.
The Object detection function assists the driver in checking
behind and around the vehicle but is not a substitute for using
your own eyes. The system may not perform to full capability
due to variables such as:
•
weather conditions such as hard rain, snow, fog or mud
•
dense exhaust fumes obscuring the sensor
•
extremely high or low temperatures near sensor

CHECK THAT THE CAMERA AND/OR SENSOR MOUNTING
IS ATTACHED SECURELY, AND THAT THE SCREWS ARE
TIGHT BEFORE DRIVING.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
WHEN INSTALLING OR CHECKING A CAMERA AND/OR
OBJECT SENSOR, DO SO AFTER PARKING THE CAR IN A
LEVEL, SAFE PLACE, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, AND
APPLYING THE HAND BRAKE.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
WHEN INSTALLING CAMERA AND/OR OBJECT SENSOR,
BE SURE TO USE SPECIFIC VEHICLE CALIBRATION
KIT OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT ACCURATELY DISPLAY
IMAGES.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
