cally changes reflection based on the intensity of
the headlights of the vehicle behind.
The anti-glare system automatically turns on

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Rear View
Monitor could result in serious injury or
death.
• The RearView Monitor is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows, 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 will not detect small ob-
jects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
• The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show
every 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 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 the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Make sure that the hatch is securely
closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled on top of the hatch.
• 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
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

EQUIPPED)

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
Aare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
• Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
• Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
• Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
• Green line
4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide 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 distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-3

For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on
the hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown farther than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on
the hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor.
4-4Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

Backing up behind a projecting object
The positionCis shown farther than the position
Bin the display. However, the positionCis
actually at the same distance as the position
A.
The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to
the position
Aif the object projects over the
actual backing up course.
ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
The procedure for adjusting the quality of the
screen differs depending on the type of screen
present on the vehicle.
For vehicles without Navigation System:
1. Press the ENTER/SETTING button.
2. Turn the TUNE-SCROLL knob to highlight the
“Brightness” or “Contrast” key.
3. Press the ENTER/SETTING button.
4. Adjust the level using the TUNE-SCROLL
knob and then press the ENTER/SETTING
button to apply the adjustment.• Do not adjust the Brightness or Contrast of the
RearView Monitor while the vehicle is moving.
OPERATING TIPS
• When the shift lever is shifted to R (Reverse) ,
the monitor screen automatically changes to the
RearView Monitor mode. However, the radio
can be heard.
• It may take some time until the RearView Moni-
tor is displayed after the shift lever has been
shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects may be dis-
torted 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 objects. This
is not a malfunction.
• When strong light directly enters the camera,
objects may not be displayed clearly.
• 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.
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-5

pressing the ENTER/SETTING button may not
change the brightness.

dark place or at night.
• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, the
