Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system assists the
driver by displaying an image of the view
behind the vehicle while backing up. The
left and right displayed on the screen are
the same as those of the inside rear view
mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the selector lever in the “R”
position when the ignition key is in the
“ON” position.
If you move the selector 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 conditions.
Depicted distances between 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 person 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 tail
gate is not completely closed.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to have
the camera’s position and mounting
angle checked at your Toyota dealer.
As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach,
disassemble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured on
the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
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.
Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens,
wipe it off as soon as possible.
Use your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the
displayed 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 vehicle visually
and with mirror before proceeding.
When replacing the tires, please consult
your Toyota dealer. If you replace the tires,
the area displayed on the screen may
change.
