CAUTION
■When using the rear view monitor system, observe the following pre-
cautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or serious inju-
ries.
●Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
●Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
●Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
●Do not use the system if the tailgate open.
■Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
●If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
●The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
NOTICE
●As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
●If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water
droplets, snow, or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a
soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and rinse.
