WARNING
  • Never rely solely on Rear View Monitor. As there are blind spots that do not appear on the camera while backing up and parking, You must always use methods of viewing the area behind you including looking over both shoulders as well as continuously checking all three rear view mirrors.

  • A wide-angle lens is used for Rear View Monitor. There may be a difference between actual object distance and visual object distance due to correction of the image distortion. Always pay attention to the surroundings for safety.

  • There may be a distance difference from a real object. Always pay attention to the surroundings for the safety.

  • If the camera lens is covered with foreign material, 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.
