CAUTION
■
When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries:
●
Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
●
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
●
Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed
image may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or
not entirely visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up,
be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with the
mirrors before proceeding.
●
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
●
Do not use the system if the back door is open.
■
Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
●
If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash
with a mild cleanser and rinse.
●
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
NOTICE
●
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
●
When replacing tires, please consult your Toyota dealer. If you replace the
tires, the area displayed on the screen may change.
