10. Rear View Monitor System
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of
the view behind the vehicle with xed
guide lines on the screen while back-
ing up, for example while parking.
PRECAUTION
The rear view monitor system is a
supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when backing up.
When backing up, be sure to visually
check all around the vehicle both
directly and using the mirrors before
proceeding. If you do not, you may
hit another vehicle, and could possi-
bly cause an accident. Pay attention
to the following precautions when
using the rear view monitor system:
z Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. The image and the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may dier
from the actual state.
z Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
z Be sure to back up slowly,
depressing the brake pedal to
control vehicle speed.
z The instructions given are only
guidelines. When and how much
to turn the steering wheel will vary
according to trac conditions,
road surface conditions, vehicle
condition, etc. when parking. It is
necessary to be fully aware of this
before using the rear view monitor
system.
PRECAUTION
z When parking, be sure to check
that the parking space will accom-
modate your vehicle before
maneuvering into it. Do not use
rear view monitor system in the
following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
• When using tyre chains or emer-
gency tyres.
• When the back door is not
closed completely.
• On roads that are not at or
straight, such as curves or
slopes.
z In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could
distort when the vehicle is moving,
or you may become unable to see
the image on the screen. Be sure
to visually check all around the
vehicle both directly and using the
mirrors before proceeding.
z If the tyre sizes are changed, the
position of the xed guide lines
displayed on the screen may
change.
z The camera uses a special lens.
The distances between objects
and pedestrians that appear in the
image displayed on the screen will
dier from the actual distances.
