Flicker effect

When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, mercury
lights etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
CAUTION
■ When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.
● Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
● Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
Always check the vehicle surrounding area before proceeding, when back-
●
ing up.
Ancillary rear view monitor guide lines may not indicate precise position or
●
distance, and do not change to show the direction of the vehicle when the
steering wheel is turned.
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
●
distances.
● Do not use the system if the tailgate open.
● Never back up while looking only at the screen. The image on the screen
is different from actual conditions. Depicted distances between objects
and flat surfaces will differ from actual distance. If you back up while look-
ing only at the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a person or an object. When
backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually
and with mirrors before proceeding.

● If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera's position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
● Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
● The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
