Rear View Monitor (Some Models)

Displayable Range on the Screen

The images on the screen may be different from the actual conditions.

 

 

  • The displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions.

  • The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends cannot be displayed.

  • The distance appearing in the displayed image is different from the actual distance because the rear view parking camera is equipped with a specific lens.

  • Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not install any optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating parts or parts made of reflective material.

  • It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not indicate a malfunction.

    • In darkened areas.

    • When the temperature around the lens is high/low.

    • When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.

    • When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.

    • When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.

  • Image display may be delayed if the temperature around the camera is low.

Viewing the Display

Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are displayed on the screen as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking space you are about to back into.

Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.

  1. Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)

    These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.

  2. Distance guide lines.

    These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).

    • The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for the red line and 100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each of the lines).

 

The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.

Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image

Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following conditions that may cause a variance in distance perspective.

When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load

When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the actual distance.

When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle

When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed on the screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.

Three-dimensional object on vehicle rear

Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a flat surface, the distance to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is different from the actual distance.

Picture Quality Adjustment

 

Always adjust the picture quality of the rear view monitor while the vehicle is stopped:

Do not adjust the picture quality of the rear view monitor while driving the vehicle. Adjusting the picture quality of the rear view monitor such as brightness, contrast, color, and tint while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it could distract your attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to an accident.
