7-1.Rear view monitor system
●The screen illustrations used in 
this text are intended as exam-
ples, and may differ from the 
image that is actually displayed on 
the screen.
The rear view monitor system is 
a supplemental device intended 
to assist the driver when back-
ing up. When backing up, be 
sure to visually check all around 
the vehicle both directly and 
using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may 
hit another vehicle, and could 
possibly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following 
precautions when using the rear 
view monitor system.
Rear view monitor sys-
tem
The rear view monitor sys-
tem assists the driver by 
displaying an image of the 
view behind the vehicle with 
fixed guide lines on the 
screen while backing up, for 
example while parking.
Driving precautions
WA R N I N G
●Never depend on t he rear view 
monitor system entirely when 
backing up. The image and the 
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may differ 
from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would 
when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, 
depressing the brake pedal to 
control vehicle speed.
●The instructions given are only 
guide lines. When and how 
much to turn the steering wheel 
will vary according to traffic con-
ditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc. 
when parking. It is necessary to 
be fully aware o f this before 
using the rear view monitor sys-
tem.
●When parking, be sure to check 
that the parking space will 
accommodate your vehicle 
before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the rear view moni-
tor system in t he following 
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or  in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• 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 
distort when the vehicle is mov-
ing, or you may become unable 
to see the image on the screen. 
Be sure to visually check all 
around the vehicle both directly 
and using the mirrors before 
proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the 
position of the fixed guide lines 
displayed on the screen may 
change.
