●The rear view camera is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing up. Always turn and check that it is
safe to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
●Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the
RearView Monitor will appear visually
opposite than when viewed in the rear
view and outside mirrors.
●Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
●Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation.
