2008 Toyota Land Cruiser Navigation Manual - Page 256

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM 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 left and right displayed on the screen are the same as those 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 "ENGINE START STOP"switch is in the IGNITION ON mode. 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. 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 distance. 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. Do not use the system when the backdoor is not completely closed. 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. As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation. 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 D D D D 258
