proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows and check mirrors to
be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always back up
slowly.

∙ The system is designed as an aid to

the driver in showing large stationary
objects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.

∙ The distance guide line and the ve-

hicle width line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
level paved surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor is for reference
only and may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle
and displayed objects.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.

The RearView Monitor system automati-
cally shows a rear view of the vehicle when
the shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse)
position. The radio can still be heard while
the RearView Monitor is active.

To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located on the
rear hatch near the handle

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES

Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with refer-
ence to the vehicle body line

are dis-

played on the monitor.

Distance guide lines:

Indicate distances from the vehicle body.

∙ Red line

: approx. 0.5 m (1.5 ft)

∙ Yellow line

: approx. 1 m (3 ft)

∙ Green line

䊊

: approx. 2 m (7 ft)

∙ Green line

: approx. 3 m (10 ft)

Vehicle width guide lines

Indicate the vehicle width when backing
up.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES

The displayed guidelines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or downhill
surfaces or projecting objects will be actu-
ally located at distances different from
those displayed in the monitor relative to
the guidelines (refer to illustrations). When
in doubt, turn around and view the objects
as you are backing up, or park and exit the
vehicle to view the positioning of objects
behind the vehicle.

Backing up on a steep uphill

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up on a steep downhill

When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up near a projecting
object

The vehicle may seem to nearly clear the
object in the display. However, the vehicle
may hit the object if it projects over the
actual backing up course.

Backing up behind a projecting
object

The position

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.

∙ The system cannot completely elimi-

nate blind spots and may not show
every object.

∙ Underneath the bumper and the cor-

ner areas of the bumper cannot be
viewed on the RearView Monitor be-
cause of its monitoring range limita-
tion. The system will not show small
objects below the bumper, and may
not show objects close to the bumper
or on the ground.

Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

∙ Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-

tor differ from actual distance be-
cause a wide-angle lens is used.

∙ Objects in the RearView Monitor will

appear visually opposite compared to
when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.

∙ Use the displayed lines as a reference.

The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road conditions and
road grade.

∙ Make sure that the rear hatch is se-

curely closed when backing up.

∙ Do not put anything on the rearview

camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.

∙ When washing the vehicle with high

pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, 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 preci-

sion instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.

The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:

∙ When the temperature is extremely

high or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects.

∙ When strong light directly shines on the

camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.

∙ Vertical lines may be seen in objects on

the screen. This is due to strong re-
flected light from the bumper.

∙ The screen may flicker under fluores-

cent light.

∙ The colors of objects on the RearView

Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.

∙ Objects on the monitor may not be

clear in a dark environment.

∙ There may be a delay when switching

between views.

∙ If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the

camera, RearView Monitor may not dis-
play objects clearly. Clean the camera.

∙ Do not use wax on the camera lens.

Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

∙ Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner

to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.

∙ Do not damage the camera as the

monitor screen may be adversely
affected.

If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera

䊊

, the RearView Monitor may not

display objects clearly. Clean the camera
by wiping it with a cloth dampened with a
diluted mild cleaning agent and then wip-
ing it with a dry cloth.

WARNING

∙ The air conditioner cooling function

operates only when the engine is
running.

∙ Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.

∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for

long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

NOTE:

∙ Odors from inside and outside the ve-

hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.

∙ When parking, set the heater and air

conditioner (if so equipped) controls to
turn off air recirculation to allow fresh air
into the passenger compartment. This
should help reduce odors inside the ve-
hicle.
