Rear View Monitor System

PARK ASSIST / MONITORING: REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM: PRECAUTION

1. PRECAUTION FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

NOTICE:
After the engine switch is turned off, the display and navigation module display (HDD navigation system) records various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, make sure to wait at least 60 seconds before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

(a) Before performing electrical work, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal in order to prevent a short in the system.

(b) When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery terminal, turn the engine switch and lighting switches off and loosen the terminal nut completely. Perform these operations without prying on the terminal.

(c) When the battery terminal is disconnected, the memories of the clock, radio, DTCs, etc. are cleared. Before disconnecting the terminal, check and make a note of them.

2. NOTES FOR REAR TELEVISION CAMERA

(a) Notes for the rear television camera assembly

(1) The rear view monitor system may not function properly if subjected to a severe blow by any hard object.

(2) Do not scrub the cover part of the camera (resin made). Scrubbing may scratch the cover and affect the image. Prevent organic solvents, waxes, bond removing solvents or glass coating from adhering to the cover. If such material adheres to the cover, clean it off immediately and wash with water.

(3) Exposing the camera to a sudden temperature change may affect proper functioning of the camera.

(4) A clear image may not appear if the camera is dirty with snow, mud, etc. In that case, wash it with water and wipe off the lens. Use a detergent to remove dirt if necessary.

(b) Images are difficult to discern even in normal conditions if:

(1) The camera screen is frosted over (the image immediately after turning the engine switch to on (IG) may be blurred or darker than normal).

(2) The camera lens is dirty with snow, mud, etc.

(3) A strong beam of light, such as a sunbeam or headlight, hits the camera.

(4) It is too dark around the camera (at night etc.).

(5) The ambient temperature around the camera is either too high or too low.

(6) The vehicle is tilted at a steep angle.

(7) The ambience of the camera is too bright. (When a strong light, such as a sunbeam reflected off the vehicle body, hits the camera, the image may be blurred. This is called the "SMEAR" phenomenon, peculiar to the CCD camera.)
