Rear view monitor system The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an image of the rear of the vehicle while backing up. The displayed image on the screen is a horizontally reversed mirror image of the inside rear view mirror. To display the rear view image on the screen, place the selector lever in the "R" position when the ignition switch in the "ON" position. If you move the selector lever out of the "R" position, the screen returns to the previous screen. Operating another function of the navigation system will display another screen. The rear view monitor system is a supplement device intended to assist back up. When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually. CAUTION D If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the camera may change. Be sure to have the camera's position and mounting angle checked at your Toyota dealer. D Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up. Always make sure your intended path is clear. Use caution just as you would when backing up any vehicle. D If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. D Never back up while looking only at the screen. The image on the screen is different from actual conditions. Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces will differ from actual distances. If you back up while looking only at the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a person or an object. When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with mirrors before proceeding. D If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water droplets, snow, or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and rinse. D The displayed image may become darker and moving images may be slightly distorted when the system is cold. When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with mirror before proceeding. When replacing the tires, please consult your Toyota dealer. If you replace the tires, the area displayed on the screen may change. D Do not use the system when the back door is not completely closed. 189
