If equipped

The Multi-terrain Monitor helps the driver to check the vehicle surroundings. It assists in determining the conditions around the driver in a variety of situations, such as when judging conditions during off-road driving or checking for obstacles when parking.

Warning:

Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries.

When using the Multi-terrain Monitor system

Never rely solely on the Multi-terrain Monitor. As with unequipped vehicles, drive carefully while directly confirming the safety of your surroundings and the area to the rear of the vehicle. Take particular care to avoid parked cars and other obstacles.

Due to the characteristics of the camera lens, the actual position and distance of people and other obstacles will differ from those shown on the Multi-terrain Monitor screen. Directly confirm the safety of your surroundings before driving.When the outer mirrors are not positioned in normal position, images will not be displayed properly on the panoramic view monitor.

Do not drive while only looking at the screen. When driving, make sure to directly confirm the safety of your surroundings, such as by visually checking the area and using the vehicle’s mirrors.

In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the images may become faint. Images of moving objects in particular may distort or disappear from the screen. Therefore, make sure to drive carefully while directly visually confirming the safety of your surroundings.

Warning:

Cleaning the camera

If dirt or foreign matter, such as water droplets, snow, or mud, has stuck to the camera, you will not be able to see the image clearly. If that happens, splash the camera with a large amount of water and then wipe the camera lens clean with a soft, damp cloth.

Rear camera: Dirt on the camera lens can be cleaned by operating the dedicated camera cleaning washer. (Rear window wiper and washer)

Notice:

How to use the cameras

The Multi-terrain Monitor may stop functioning correctly. Take note of the following items:

Do not hit or apply a forceful impact on the camera. Doing so may change the position and mounting angle of the camera.

The camera is designed to be waterproof. Do not detach, disassemble, or modify it.

When washing the camera lens, splash the camera with a large amount of water and then wipe the camera lens clean with a soft, damp cloth. Rubbing the camera lens forcibly may scratch the camera lens and you may no longer be able to see images clearly.

The camera cover is made of resin. Do not allow an organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner, or glass coating to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off immediately.

Do not pour hot water on the vehicle in cold weather or apply other rapid changes of temperature.

If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure car washer, do not point the hose directly at the camera or camera area. Applying strong water pressure may result in the camera malfunctioning.

If the camera is hit, it may cause a camera malfunction. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

Cleaning the rear camera with washer fluid

Dirt on the rear camera lens can be cleaned by operating the dedicated camera cleaning washer.

When cleaning the camera, it may be difficult to see the image due to the washer fluid. When backing up, be sure to visually check all around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before proceeding.

If washer fluid remains on the camera lens surface after cleaning, the image may be difficult to see at night due to the height or inclination of the headlights of the vehicle behind.

Some dirts may not be removed completely after cleaning. In this case, rinse the camera lens with a large quantity of water and then wipe it clean with a soft cloth dampened with water.

Washer fluid is sprayed onto the camera lens surface. Therefore, the ice, snow, etc. adhering around the camera cannot be removed.

Notice:

If there is a sufficient amount of washer fluid but it does not spray out, check that the washer nozzle is not blocked.

When the washer fluid reservoir is empty, do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may overheat.

When a nozzle becomes blocked, contact your Toyota dealer. Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle would be damaged.

Some foreign matters may not be removed completely after cleaning. In this case, rinse the rear camera lens with a large quantity of water and then wipe it clean with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not strongly rub the rear camera lens, as it may be scratched and will not be able to transmit a clear image.

Washer fluid is sprayed onto the rear camera lens surface. Therefore, the ice, snow, etc. adhering around the rear camera such as the garnish cannot be removed.

Use fluids that are appropriate to the outside temperatures, in order to prevent the washer fluid from freezing.

When washing the vehicle, do not let water from the high-pressure washer directly hit the nozzle. Due to the shock from the high pressure water, it is possible that the device may not operate normally. Also, the water may enter the nozzle injection opening and freeze. It causes the washer fluid not to spray properly.

Do not subject the nozzle to sudden change of temperature such as by pouring hot water into the nozzle under the cold weather.

The washer fluid will need to be replaced more often when the rear camera cleaner system is frequently used. Because the washer reservoir is shared with the windshield washer.

Do not strike or hit the nozzle or subject it to a strong impact, as the nozzle installation position and angle may be changed.

When the vehicle got strong vibration, it may be difficult to see the image due to the washer fluid drop from the nozzle.

The display screen and placement position of the washer switch may differ depending on the type of screen and system.

When the washer switch is pressed and held, washer fluid is sprayed while the switch is pressed.

When activate rear camera washer, it also activate rear windows shield washer simultaneously.

When cleaning the rear camera, it may be difficult to see the image due to the washer fluid. In this case, directly check the surroundings of the vehicle.

If washer fluid remains on the rear camera lens surface after cleaning. Then the image may be difficult to see at night due to the height or inclination of the headlights of the vehicle behind.
