reversing.

WARNING

Always drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding conditions
by looking directly with your eyes:

Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the
screen is dangerous as it may cause an
accident or a collision with an object. The
rear view monitor is only a visual assist
device when reversing the vehicle. The
images on the screen may be different from
the actual conditions.

the following conditions: Using the rear

installed.

The vehicle is on a road incline.

When the display is cold, images may
course across the monitor or the screen
and may be dimmer than usual, which
could cause difficulty in confirming the
surrounding conditions of the vehicle.
Always drive carefully confirming the
safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your
eyes.

Do not apply excessive force to the
camera. The camera position and angle
may deviate.

as it may no longer be waterproof.

The camera cover is made of plastic. Do

solvents, wax, or glass coating agents to
the camera cover. If any are spilled on
the cover, wipe off with a soft cloth
immediately.

Do not rub the camera cover forcefully
with an abrasive or hard brush. The
camera cover or lens may be scratched
which might affect the images.

NOTE

If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the
camera lens, wipe it off using a soft
cloth. If it cannot be wiped off, use a
mild detergent.
