Limitations of Rear View Monitor

When the vehicle is stopped for a long time in winter or when the vehicle is parked in an indoor car park, the exhaust fumes may temporarily blur the image.

WARNING
  • The wide-rear view camera does not cover the complete area behind the vehicle. The driver should always check the rear area directly through the inside and outside rearview mirror before parking or backing up.

  • Rear View Monitor displays calibrated images by the wide-angle lens, which an actual distance from real objects may be different from the distance shown on the monitor. Also, the guideline may not match with an actual distance when the vehicle is tilted by the weight and position of luggage. Always pay attention to the actual surroundings for safety.

  • Always keep the wide-rear view camera lens clean. If the lens is covered with foreign material, it may adversely affect camera performance and Rear View Monitor may not operate properly. 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.
