THE REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
CAMERA
The rear view monitor system camera
is located on the back door as shown
in the illustration.
The rear view monitor system camera
uses a special lens. The distance of
the images that appear on the screen
differs from the actual distance.
In the following cases, it may become
difficult to see the images on the
screen, but this is not a malfunction.
In the dark (for example, at night)
When the temperature near the lens is
high or low When water droplets are adhering to
the camera, or when humidity is high
(for example, when it rains)
When foreign matter (for example,
mud) is adhering to the camera
When the sun or the beam of head-
lights is shining directly into the cam-
era lens
If a bright light (for example, sunlight
reflected off the vehicle body) is picked
up by the camera, the smear effect
∗
peculiar to the CCD camera may occur.
∗: Smear effect—A phenomenon that oc-
curs when a bright light (for example, sun-
light reflected off the vehicle body) is
picked up by the camera; when trans-
mitted by the camera, the light source
appears to have a vertical streak above
and below it.
