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.
