sary, because it reduces rear view clarity.
AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE
REARVIEW MIRROR (if so equipped)
The inside mirror is designed so that it automati-
cally dims during night time conditions and ac-
cording to the intensity of the headlights of the
vehicle following you. The automatic anti-glare
feature is activated when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
The indicator light will illuminate when the auto-
matic anti-glare feature is operating.
NOTE:
Do not hang any objects over the sensors
1or apply glass cleaner to the sensors.
Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the
sensors, resulting in improper operation.LPD2067WPD0126

When the shift lever is shifted into the R (Re-
verse) position, the monitor display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RearView
Monitor could result in serious injury or
death.
●The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and look out the win-
dows, and check mirrors to be sure that
it is safe to move before operating the
vehicle. Always back up slowly.
● The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
● The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show ev-
ery object. ●
Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
● Objects in a RearView Monitor will ap-
pear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
● Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
● Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.
● When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock. ●
Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.CAUTION

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
● Always turn and check that it is safe to
do so before backing up. Always back
up slowly.
● Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road conditions and road
grade.
● If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
● If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If
this occurs, please perform the follow-
ing procedures: – Turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock while the engine is running.
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
● When the steering wheel is turned with
the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on
the monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual dis-
tance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
● When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When backing up
the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed
in the monitor are closer than they ap-
pear. Use the inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder to properly judge
distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course. 1. Visually check that the parking space is safe
before parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
Awhen the shift lever is moved
to the R (Reverse) position.
LHA1197
4-18Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

●It may take some time until the RearView
Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has
been shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the RearView
Monitor screen is displayed completely.
When the shift 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.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.
● When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion. ●
If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not display ob-
jects. Clean the camera.
● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolor-
ation. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
● Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
● Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION
(MOD) (if so equipped)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of moving objects behind the
vehicle when backing out of garages, maneuver-
ing in parking lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the image
shown in the display.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position
and the vehicle speed is approximately 5 MPH
(8 km/h) or less, the MOD system detects moving
objects in the rearview or rear-wide view. The
MOD system will not operate if the trunk is open.
WARNING
●The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and does not
prevent contact with the objects sur-
rounding the vehicle. When maneuver-
ing, always use the outside mirror and
rear view mirror and turn and look to
check the surroundings to make sure it
is safe to maneuver.
● The MOD system is not designed to
detect surrounding stationary objects.
If the MOD system detects moving objects be-
hind the vehicle, a yellow frame will be displayed
on the camera image and a chime sounds.
4-22Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

The BSW/LDW systems use the rear view moni-
tor camera unit
1with automatic washer and
blower.
WARNING
● The BSW system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedure and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When changing lanes,
always use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction you
will move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system. ●
The LDW system is only a warning de-
vice to help inform the driver of a poten-
tial unintended lane departure. It will
not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of
control. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle
in the traveling lane, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
● The camera unit may not function prop-
erly under the following conditions:
– When towing a trailer.
– When strong light enters the camera unit. (e.g. light directly shines on the
rear of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
– When ambient brightness changes suddenly. (e.g. when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or passes under
a bridge.)
● If the camera lens is excessively dirty,
the automatic washer may not be able
to completely clean the lens. This could
result in the camera not detecting ve-
hicles or lane markers.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h).
When the camera unit detects vehicles in the
detection zone, the Blind Spot indicator light
located inside the outside mirrors will illuminate. If
the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the Blind Spot indicator light
flashes to alert the driver.
The Blind Spot indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicle(s) leave the detection
zone.
