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 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, shift the shift lever to "R" when the "POWER" switch is in ON mode. If you move the shift lever out of the "R", the screen returns to the previous screen. Operating another function of the navigation system will display another screen. Vehicles with intuitive parking assist− sensor - when the intuitive parking assist−sensors are turned on and an obstacle is detected in front of or behind your vehicle, a warning appears on the right top of the rear view monitor. For details, see "Intuitive parking assist" on page 338. 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 back door 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 roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes. D D D D 320
