&How to use the rear view
cameraWhen the shift lever (MT models) or select
lever (CVT models) is set to“R”, the rear
view camera automatically displays the

WARNING
Because the range of the image
captured by the camera is limited,
always check the traffic around the
vehicle directly with your eyes when
driving the vehicle.NOTE.The range of the displayed image
may differ depending on the vehicle
status or the road surface status.
.Because the Front View Monitor
system uses a specially designed lens,
the sense of distance in the displayed
image is different from the actual dis-
tance.
.The camera image may be difficult to
view in the following situations. This is
not a malfunction.
–Dark place (at night)
–High or low temperature around
the lens
–Water contacts lens or in high
humidity (rainy weather)
–There is foreign materials (such
as mud) around the camera
–Sunlight or headlight beam di-
rectly shines towards the camera
lens
.Under an artificial light such as afluorescent lamp, sodium-vapor lamp
or mercury lamp, the lighted portion
may look like it is flickering (flicker
phenomenon).
.While the display has cooled down,
the image may leave traces or become
darker than usual, causing a difficulty
in viewing the screen. Always check the
traffic around the vehicle directly with
your eyes while driving the vehicle.
.The following incidents should not
be deemed a malfunction.
–The camera lens may become
foggy when the humidity is high on
a rainy day.
–The light from a vehicle or build-
ing located ahead may be reflected
towards the camera image while
driving at night.
–In a dark place or while driving at
night, the camera image may be
adjusted to make noises less visi-
ble. Therefore, the image may look
like a monochromatic image or the
image colors may differ from the
actual colors. The camera image
may be deteriorated in regard to
sharpness at the center and four
corners of the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
