qRear View Monitor

The rear view monitor is a visual assist system when reversing the vehicle that provides
images from the rear of the vehicle.

WARNING

The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device when reversing the vehicle. The
images on the screen may be different from the actual conditions. Always drive
carefully confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking
directly with your eyes. Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen may cause
an accident or a collision with an object.

CAUTION

Ø When the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen and

may be dimmer than usual, which could cause difficulty in confirming the
surrounding conditions of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes.

Ø Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may

deviate.

Ø Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.

Ø The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic

solvents, wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any are spilled on
the cover, wipe off with a soft cloth immediately.

Ø Do not rub the cover excessively, or polish it using an abrasive compound or a

hard brush. The cover may be damaged affecting the image.

NOTE

If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it cannot be
wiped off, use a mild detergent.

If the camera temperature changes rapidly, such as by pouring hot water on it under cold
temperature conditions, the rear view monitor may not operate correctly.

NOTE

The displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions.

The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends cannot be

Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not install any
optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating parts or parts made of
reflective material.

It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not indicate a
malfunction.

In darkened areas.

When the temperature around the lens is high/low.

When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.

When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.

When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.

If the camera picks up a high-intensity light such as sunlight reflected off the vehicle body, a
bright belt (light line) may appear on the display. (Smear phenomenon)

Image display may be delayed if the temperature around the camera is low.
