4-18 Center display, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
When the selector/shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows
view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The system will not detect
small objects below the bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
WARNING
. The rearview camera is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper backing up. Always turn and
check that it is safe to do so before
backing up. Always back up slowly.
. Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite like
ones viewed in the inside and out-
side mirrors.
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView monitor
because of its monitoring range
limitation.
. Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is
installed above the license plate.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.
