n Flicker effect
When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, mercury
lights, etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
CAUTION
n When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.
l Never depend solely on the rear view monitor system when reversing.
l Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
l Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are
estimates of distance and location.
l The guide lines are assistant lines and do not change even if the steering
wheel is turned.
l Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
l Do not use the system if the back door is not completely closed.
n Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
l If the back of the vehicle is hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle
may change. Contact your Toyota dealer.
l Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
l If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
l The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
n Caution while driving in reverse
Do not change modes while the vehicle is moving. Doing so may cause an
accident.
