does not chime.
A blue MOD icon
*3is displayed in the
view where the MOD system is operative. A
gray MOD icon
*3is displayed in the view
where the MOD system is not operative.
When the “

MOD system will turn off temporarily and
the indicator
*5will turn off. At the same
time a camera-aiding sonar will also be
turned OFF. When the “MOD” key is
selected again, the indicator will turn on
and the MOD system will turn back on.

The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
. When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
. When the CAMERA button is pushed to
switch from a different screen to the
camera view on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in
the “OFF” position and then back to the
“ON” position. To set the MOD system so that it remains
off at all times, use the camera settings
menu. See
“Around View
TMMonitor set-
tings” later in this section for more
information.
WARNING
. Do not use the MOD system when
towing a trailer. The system may not
function properly.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
—When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
—When there is blinking source oflight.
—When strong light such as another
vehicle’ s headlight or sunlight is
present.
—When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when mirror is folded.
—When there is dirt, water drops or
snow on the camera lens.
—When the position of the movingobjects in the display is not changed.
. The MOD system might detect some-
thing like flowing water droplets on the
camera lens, white smoke from the
muffler, moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, distance or shape of the moving
objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the sen-
sing zone may be altered and the MOD
system may not detect objects properly.
