Rear view monitor system^{* *}If equipped The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an image of the view behind the vehicle with fixed guide lines on the screen while backing up, for example while parking. Note: The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples, and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the screen. Rear view monitor system Driving precautions Driving precautions The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist the driver when backing up. When backing up, be sure to visually check all around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before proceeding. If you do not, you may hit another vehicle, and could possibly cause an accident. Pay attention to the following precautions when using the rear view monitor system. Warning: Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up. The image and the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may differ from the actual state.Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle. Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed. The instructions given are only guide lines. When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic conditions, road surface conditions, vehicle condition, etc. when parking. It is necessary to be fully aware of this before using the rear view monitor system. When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your vehicle before maneuvering into it. Do not use the rear view monitor system in the following cases: On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow When using tire chains or emergency tires When the back door is not closed completely On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to see the image on the screen. Be sure to visually check all around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before proceeding. If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the fixed guide lines displayed on the screen may change. The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual distances. (Differences between the screen and the actual road) Rear view monitor system Screen description Screen description The rear view monitor system screen will be displayed if the shift lever is shifted to the “R” position while the engine switch is in ON. Vehicle width guide line Displays a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight up. The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width. Vehicle center guide line This line indicates the estimated vehicle center on the ground. Distance guide line Shows distance behind the vehicle. Displays a point approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) from the edge of the bumper. Distance guide line Shows distance behind the vehicle. Displays a point approximately 3 ft. (1 m) (blue) from the edge of the bumper. Canceling rear view monitor system The rear view monitor system is canceled when the shift lever is shifted into any position other than the “R” position. Rear view monitor system Rear view monitor system precautions Rear view monitor system precautions Area displayed on screen The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bumper of the rear area of the vehicle. Corners of bumper The area around both corners of the bumper will not be displayed. Note: The image adjustment procedure for the rear view monitor system screen is the same as the procedure for adjusting the screen. (Screen adjustment) The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation conditions. Objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper cannot be displayed. The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance. Items which are located higher than the camera may not be displayed on the monitor. The camera The camera for the rear view monitor system is located as shown in the illustration. Using the camera If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet cloth. Notice: The rear view monitor system may not operate properly in the following cases. If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the camera may change. As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation. When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity of water and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera lens may cause the camera lens to be scratched and unable to transmit a clear image. Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a glass coating to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible. If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning. Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunction. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Differences between the screen and the actual road The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually. The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually. The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road. When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply The distance guide lines will appear to be closer to the vehicle than the actual distance. Because of this, objects will appear to be farther away than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the fixed guide lines and the actual distance/course on the road. When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply The distance guide lines will appear to be farther from the vehicle than the actual distance. Because of this, objects will appear to be closer than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guide lines and the actual distance/course on the road. When any part of the vehicle sags When any part of the vehicle sags due to the number of passengers or the distribution of the load, there is a margin of error between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road. A margin of error When approaching three-dimensional objects The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the vehicle width guide lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following. Vehicle width guide lines Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the vehicle width guide lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over the vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you back up as guided by the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.
