NOTICE

If you use the rearview camera for a

long time when the ignition switch is

in “ON” position or the ignition mode

is “ON”, but the engine is not run-

ning, the lead-acid battery may dis-

charge.

Do not leave the ignition switch in

“ON” position or the ignition mode

“ON” for a long time when the engine

position while the ignition switch is in “ON”

WARNING

The distance viewed in the rearview

camera may differ from the actual

distance according to the condition

of road or the load the vehicle is car-

rying. Since the camera display area

is also limited, backing up by only

looking at the display may cause an

accident or a crash with an object.

The rearview camera cannot replace

the driver’s attention. The driver

alone is responsible for parking and

similar driving maneuvers.

• Use the rearview camera only to

provide driving assistance.

• Always drive carefully confirming

the safety of the rear and the sur-

rounding conditions by looking

directly with your eyes and using

the rear view mirror.
