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 monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation because it has areas
where objects cannot be viewed. Always
look out the windows and check mirrors
to be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle 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 outside mirrors.

.

Make sure that the lift gate 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. 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 precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion 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.

course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering wheel
is in the neutral position.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES

WARNING

.

Always turn and check that it is safe to
park your car before backing up. Always
back up slowly.

.

Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road grade.

.

If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course line
may not be displayed correctly.

.

On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.

.

If predicted course lines are displayed
incorrectly, drive the vehicle on a
straight road for 110 yd (100 m) at a
speed of above 20 MPH (30 km/h).

.

The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.

.

The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide 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 ob-
jects.

.

When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When backing up the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. Use
the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.

on the monitor is for reference only and
may be different from the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.

SAA1978

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. For example, the display
shows 3 ft (1 m) to the place

OPERATING TIPS

. When the selector lever is shifted to the

R (Reverse) position, the monitor
screen automatically changes to the
rearview monitor mode. However, the
radio can be heard.

. It may take some time until the rearview

monitor is displayed after the selector
lever has been shifted to R from
another position or to another position
from R. Objects may be distorted
momentarily until the rearview monitor

screen is displayed completely.

. When the temperature is extremely high

or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects. This is not a malfunc-
tion.

. When strong light directly enters the

camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.

. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on

the screen. This is due to strong
reflected light from the bumper. This
is not a malfunction.

. The screen may flicker under fluores-

cent light. This is not a malfunction.

. The colors of objects on the rearview

monitor may differ somewhat from
those of the actual object.

. Objects on the monitor may not be clear

in a dark place or at night. This is not a
malfunction.

. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the

camera, the rearview monitor may not
clearly display objects. Clean the cam-
era.

. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner

to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with
diluted mild cleaning agent and then

wipe with a dry cloth.

. Do not damage the camera as the

monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected.

. Do not use wax on the camera window.

Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent diluted
with water.

When you push the CAMERA button or shift
the selector lever into the R (Reverse)
position while the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the Around View Monitor
operates. The monitor displays various
views of the position of the vehicle.

Available views:

. Bird-Eye View

The surrounding view of the vehicle.

. Front-Side View

The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.

. Front View

The view to the front of the vehicle.

. RearView

The view to the rear of the vehicle.

. Rear-Wide View

An approximately 180-degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.

The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.

SAA2148

There are some areas where the system
will not detect objects. When in the front or
the rearview display, an object below the
bumper or on the ground may not be
detected

*

. When in the bird-eye view, a

tall object near the seam of the camera
detecting areas will not appear in the

monitor

WARNING

.

The Around View Monitor is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation because it has areas
where objects cannot be viewed. Always
look out the windows and check to be
sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly.

.

Do not use the Around View Monitor with
the outside mirror in the stored position,
and make sure that the lift gate is
securely closed when operating the
vehicle using the Around View Monitor.

.

The distance between objects viewed on
the Around View Monitor differs from the
actual distance.

.

The cameras are installed above the
front grille, the outside mirrors and
above the rear license plate. Do not put
anything on the cameras.

.

When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water
