construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
DIf the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
DDo not strongly rub the camera
lens. If the camera lens is
scratched, it can not transmit a
clear image.

wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this
happens, wipe it off as soon as
possible.
DIf the tire size is changed, the area
displayed on the screen may
change.
DWhen washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.
INFORMATION
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If wa-
ter droplets, snow, or mud adhere to
the lens, rinse with water and wipe
with a soft cloth. If the lens is ex-
tremely dirty, wash it with a mild
cleanser and rinse.

WIDE VIEW FRONT MONITOR SYSTEM
296
The wide view front monitor uses a super−
wide angle lens to display on screen the
areas to the left and right of the vehicle and
the blind spots to the front of the vehicle.
This system helps the driver check for ap-
proaching cars, bicycles and pedestrians
when at intersections with poor visibility.
CAUTION
DAlways make sure to check all
around the vehicle with your own
eyes when driving.
DDue to the property of the front
camera lens, the position of and
distance to people or objects dis-
played differs from actual position
and distance.
DNever depend on the front monitor
only. Use caution just as you would
when driving any other vehicle.
DNever drive while looking only at
the screen as the image on the
screen is different from actual con-
ditions. If you drive while looking
only at the screen, you may hit a
person or an object, resulting in an
accident. When driving, be sure to
check the vehicle’s surroundings
with your own eyes and the ve-
hicle’s mirrors.
DWhen the outside temperature is
low, the displayed image may be-
come faint or dark. Moving images
will be distorted or not entirely vis-
ible, so be sure to check the ve-
hicle’s surroundings with your
own eyes and the vehicle’s mirrors
while driving.
DThe displayed image may be darker
and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
DDo not use the front monitor in the following cases:
DOn icy or slick road surfaces,or
in snow
DWhen using tire chains or emer-
gency tires
DWhen the hood or the front pas-
senger door is not completely
closed
DOn roads that are not flat or di-
rect, such as slopes or curves

tus or road conditions.

camera lens, the perceived dis-
tance from images that appear on
the screen differs from the actual
distance.
D In the following cases, it may be-
come difficult to see the images on
the screen, but this is not a mal-
function:
D In the dark (for example, at night)
D When the temperature near the
lens is high or low
D When there are water droplets
on the camera lens, or when hu-
midity is high (for example,
when it rains)
D When foreign matter such as
mud is stuck to the front camera
D When the sun or the beam of
headlights is shining directly
into the camera lens
D The following symptoms may oc-
cur, but do not indicate a malfunc-
tion:
D The camera may fog up when hu-
midity is high (for example,
when it rains).
D When driving at night, ambient
lights such as the lights of the
vehicles ahead and building
lighting may be reflected into the
