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.

●

Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-

tances.

●

Do not use the system if the trunk is open.

off the vehicle body, is picked up by the

camera, a smear effect* characteristic to

the camera may occur.
