REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
250
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The image is displayed in reverse
on the screen. This allows the image to
appear in the same manner as that of
the rear view mirror.
Vehicles with smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicles without smart key system —
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the shift lever in the “R”
position when the engine switch is in
“ON” position.
If you move the shift lever out of the “R”
position, the screen returns to the previous
screen. Operating another function of the
navigation system will display another
screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual con-
ditions. Depicted distances be-
tween objects and flat surfaces will
differ from actual distances. If you
back up while looking only at the
screen, you may hit a vehicle, a per-
son or an object. When backing up,
be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
Do not use the system when the
back door is open or not complete-
ly closed.
Use your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the dis-
played image may become faint or
dark, and moving images will be
distorted, or not entirely visible
when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to
check behind and all around the ve-
hicle visually and with mirrors be-
fore proceeding.
Do not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
On icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
When using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
On roads that are not flat or
straight, such as curves or
slopes.
