3. PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
• The rear-view monitor image has the same
right-left inversion as your vehicle’s rear-
view mirrors. Depending on the vehicle,
the field and angle of view may differ.
• Do not attempt to use this device for
applications other those for which it was
designed.
Electrical shock or other injury may result.
• Never attach or detach cables and wires while
the system is operating, since accidents may
result. Always turn off the vehicle’s power
(ACC-OFF) before connecting or
disconnecting cables.
• This component is a video monitor; it does not
operate alone, and must be combined with
separately purchased power supply box and
CCD camera.
• The miniature fluorescent tubes installed in
this type of LCD panel are considered
consumable parts. If the screen image
appears dark or flickers, the tubes may
require replacement (median lifetime is about
5,000 hours).
Handling Precautions
■
Regarding the LCD screen
• In very cold climates, the screen updating
may become slower or the image may appear
darker than usual; this is not a malfunction.
Operation should return to normal when the
temperature rises.
• Small black or bright pixel points may appear
within the LCD, but this is a characteristic of
LCD monitors, and not a malfunction.
• The LCD panel is easily scratched, so do not
rub or strike it with hard objects.
• Do not leave the LCD panel while it is wet,
since discoloration or stains may occur, or
moisture may invade the interior of the unit,
resulting in damage. In the event water drops
are splashed on the unit, wipe them away with
cotton or soft cloth.
• During summer months, temperatures inside
a vehicle may rise precipitously; in such
cases, allow the vehicle interior to cool before
using the unit. The permissible temperature
range during use is 0 ˚C to 40 ˚C.
WARNING
• Do Not Back Up Vehicle While Relying
Only on the Monitor Image
The rear-view monitor should be considered an
auxiliary device meant to help confirm the
presence of obstacles, but its field of view is
limited. Always back the vehicle only after
confirming with the naked eye that it conditions
are safe. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or damage to persons or objects lying
outside the camera’s field of view.
• Use Slow Speeds When Backing Up
The rear-view camera utilizes a wide-angle
lens, with the result that the actual distance to
obstacles may be less than the perceived
onscreen distance; backing up quickly may
result in a serious accident involving damage
or injuries to property or persons.
• Always Park in a Safe Area When Viewing
Television or Videos
To prevent distraction to the driver, vehicular
video devices are designed to operate only
when the vehicle is stopped and the parking
brake applied.
• Do Not Attempt to Disassemble or Modify
this Device
Disassembly may result in accidents, fire, or
electrical shock.
