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. Vehicles with smart key system - To display the rear view image on the screen, place the shift lever in the "R" position when the "ENGINE START STOP" switch is in IGNITION ON mode. Vehicles without smart key system - To display the rear view image on the screen, place the shift lever in the "R" position when the engine switch is in the "ON" position. If you move the shift 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 trunk is not completely closed. Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle's surroundings, as the displayed image may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or not entirely visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with mirror before proceeding. Do not use the system in the following cases: D On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow. D When using tire chains or emergency tires. D On an uneven road, such as a slope. D D D D 200
