WARNING

  • This function is a supplemental function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the area around the vehicle before and while making turns or changing lanes.

  • ALWAYS look around your vehicle to make sure there are no objects or obstacles before moving the vehicle in any direction to prevent a collision.

  • Objects are closer than they appear. Failure to visually confirm that is safe to change the lane before doing so may result in crash and serious injury or death.

  • If the camera lens is covered with foreign material, the Rear View Monitor may not operate normally. Always keep the camera lens clean.

  • However, do not use chemical solvents such as strong detergents containing high alkaline or volatile organic solvents (gasoline, acetone etc.). This may damage the camera lens.
