When the camera is used under fluorescent light, sodium lights, or mercury lights etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.

CAUTION
■When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries.
●The rear view monitor system is a supplement device intended to assist back up. Never depend solely on the rear view monitor system when reversing. Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear. Use caution just as you would when backing up any vehicle.
●The camera has a special lens. Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual distances.
●Vehicles with spare tire: The spare tire is the rear-most edge of the vehicle extending past the rear bumper. Take care not to hit any obstacles with the spare tire while reversing.

■Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
●If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
●When the outside temperature is low, the displayed image may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or not entirely visible.
●Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash with a mild cleanser and rinse.
●When replacing tires, please consult your Toyota dealer. If you replace the tires, the area displayed on the screen may change.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the camera
●As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
●When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in camera malfunctions.
●Take care so that organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat does not adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
