the headlight switch in the “AUTO”
position when the “ENGINE

When using the rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist the driver
when backing up. When backing up, be sure to check visually behind and all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries. ●
Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up. The

the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle. ●
When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your
vehicle before maneuvering into it. ●
Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.●
In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to
see the image on the screen. Be sure to check direct visually and with the mirrors
all around the vehicle before proceeding. ●
The camera uses a special lens. The di stances between obje cts and pedestrians
that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual dis-
tances. (  P. 2 9 0 )
