ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
To adjust the quality of the screen, press the
SETUP button.
cTo adjust the Brightness, Tint, Contrast, Dis-
play ON/OFF and Color of the rearview
monitor, press the SETUP button with the
rearview monitor on, then touch the “–” or
“+” key on the item and adjust the level.
cDo not adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Tint
and Color of the rearview monitor while the

OPERATING TIPS
cWhen the selector lever is shifted to R (Re-
verse) , the monitor screen automatically
changes to the rearview monitor mode.
However, the radio can be heard.
cIt may take some time until the rearview
monitor is displayed after the selector lever
has been shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects
may be distorted momentarily until the rear-
view monitor screen is displayed completely.
When the selector lever is returned to a
position other than R (Reverse) , it may take
some time until the screen changes. Objects
on the screen may be distorted until they are
completely displayed.cWhen the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.
cWhen strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
cVertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
cThe screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
cThe colors of objects on the rearview moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
cWhen the contrast of objects is low at night,
pressing the SETUP button may not change
the brightness.
cObjects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.
cIf dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the rearview monitor may not display ob-
jects. Clean the camera.
cDo not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with a diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.cDo not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
cDo not use body wax on the camera window.
Wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.
