3. NOTES FOR REAR VIEW MONITOR

(a) Notes for the 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 camera (resin made). Scrubbing may scratch the camera and affect the image. Prevent organic solvents, waxes, bond removing solvents or glass coating from adhering to the camera. If such material adheres to the camera, 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 may be unclear even in normal conditions if:

(1) Electrical devices that generate interference are used in the cabin.

(2) Accessories that generate radio waves have been installed.

(3) The camera lens is frosted over (the image immediately after turning the ignition switch to ON may be blurred or darker than normal).

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

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

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

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

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

(9) The ambient light surrounding 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.)

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