Clock Rear view monitor system The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an image of the view behind the vehicle while backing up. The image is displayed in reverse on the screen. This allows the image to appear in the same manner as that of the rear view mirror. To display the rear view image on the screen, place the selector lever in the "R" position when the "IG−ON" mode is enabled. 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 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. 28p009d 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. The digital clock indicates the time. The hybrid system must be in "ACC" or "IG−ON". To set the hour: Push the "H" button. To set the minutes: Push the "M" button. If the electrical power source has been disconnected from the clock, the time display will automatically be set to 1:00. When the instrument panel lights are turned on, the brightness of the time indicator will be reduced. D Do not use the system when the back door is not completely closed. 304
