CAUTION
Conversational speech on some
DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound ef-
fects. If you adjust the volume as-
suming that the conversations repre-
sent the maximum volume level that
the DVD will play, you may be startled
by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source.
The louder sounds may have a signif-
icant impact on the human body or
pose a driving hazard. Keep this in
mind when you adjust the volume.

AIR CONDITIONING

INFORMATION
DWhen the “POWER” switch is
turned on, the air conditioning sys-
tem settings will be set to those
that were in use the last time the
“POWER” switch was turned off.
Air conditioning system settings
are memorized individually on
each electronic key, so the settings
reproduced will be specific to the
key that is used.
D During use, various odors from in-
side and outside the vehicle may
enter into and accumulate in the air
conditioning system. This may
then cause odor to be emitted from
the vents.
D To reduce potential odors from oc-
curring:
D It is recommended that the air
conditioning system be set to
outside air mode prior to turning
the vehicle off.
D The start timing of the blower
may be delayed for a short peri-
od of time immediately after the
air conditioning system is
started in AUTO mode.

being discharged, do not leave the air
conditioning on longer than neces-
sary when the hybrid system is off.

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
290
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The image is displayed in reverse
on the screen. This allows the image to
appear in the same manner as that of
the rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, shift the shift position to “R”
when the “POWER” switch is in ON
mode.
If you move the shift position out of the “R”,
the screen returns to the previous screen.
Operating another function of the naviga-
tion system will display another screen.
Vehicles with intuitive parking assist−
sensor — when the intuitive parking as-
sist− sensors are turned on and an ob-
stacle is detected in front of or behind
your vehicle, a warning appears on the
right top of the rear view monitor. For
details, see “Intuitive parking assist” on
page 304.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.CAUTION
DNever depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
DNever 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 looking 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.
DDo not use the system when the
trunk is not completely closed.
DUse your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the dis-
played image may become faint or
dark, and moving images will be
distorted, or not entirely visible
when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to
check behind and all around the ve-
hicle visually and with mirror be-
fore proceeding.
DDo not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
DOn icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
DWhen using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
DOn an uneven or indirect road,
such as a slope or curve.
