REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.

•

The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show
every object.

•

Underneath the bumper and the cor-
ner areas of the bumper cannot be
viewed on the RearView Monitor be-
cause of its monitoring range limita-
tion. The system will not show small
objects below the bumper, and may
not show objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.

•

Objects

viewed

the

RearView

Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.

•

Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite compared
to when viewed in the rearview and
outside mirrors.

•

Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road conditions and
road grade.

•

Make sure that the tailgate is se-
curely closed when backing up.

•

Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled on the tailgate.

•

When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing
water condensation on the lens, a
malfunction, fire or an electric shock.

•

Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.

The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
• When the temperature is extremely high

or low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.

• When strong light directly shines on the

camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.

• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on

the screen. This is due to strong reflected
light from the bumper.

• The screen may flicker under fluorescent

light.

• The colors of objects on the RearView

Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.

WARNING

•

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for the proper use of
the Intelligent Around View® Monitor
system could result in serious injury
or death.

•

The Intelligent Around View® Monitor
is a convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where ob-
jects cannot be viewed. The four cor-
ners of the vehicle in particular, are
areas where objects do not always
appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear
views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always
operate the vehicle slowly.

•

The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.

The Intelligent Around View® Monitor sys-
tem is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking.

The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen for-
mat. Not all views are available at all times.

Available views:

• Front View

An approximately 150–degree view of the
front of the vehicle.

• Rear View

An approximately 150–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.

• Bird's-Eye View

The surrounding views of the vehicle
from above.

• Front-Side View

The view around and ahead of the front
passenger's side wheel.

• Rear-Wide View

An approximately 180–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.

To display the multiple views, the Intelligent
Around View® Monitor system uses cam-
eras located in the front grille, on the vehi-
cle’s outside mirrors and one on the tail-
gate

Available views

WARNING

•

The distance guide lines and the ve-
hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on
a paved, level surface. The apparent
distance viewed on the monitor may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.

•

Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-
eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected
by the number of occupants, cargo, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condition
and road grade.

•

If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
and the bird's-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.

•

When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
further than they appear. When driv-
ing the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear.

•

Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the monitor and outside
mirrors.

•

Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.

•

On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course lines and the
actual course line.

•

The vehicle width and predicted
course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.

•

The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear cen-
ter of the vehicle.

would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.

•

Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the ve-

hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.

• When parking, set the heater and air

conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

Operating tips

• Keep the windows closed while the air

conditioner is in operation.

• After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3

minutes with the windows open to vent
hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This al-
lows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly.

•

The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.

• A visible mist may be seen coming from

the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.

•

If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, see “If your vehicle over-
heats” (P. 6-13).
