steering wheel operation error,

resulting in an unexpected acci-

dent.

If the camera lens is dirty or cov-

ered with foreign matter, such as

water droplets, snow, mud, etc.,

the displayed image may not be

clear. In this case, rinse the

camera lens with a large quan-

tity of water and then wipe it

clean with a soft cloth damp-

ened with water.

●Do not smoke, use matches,

use cigarette lighters or allow

open flames near the mirror. It

may damage the mirror or

cause a fire.

●Do not subject the camera to a

strong impact as this could

tion and angle may be changed.

• Do not remove, disassemble or

modify the camera.

• When washing the camera,

rinse it with a large quantity of

water and then wipe it clean

with a soft cloth dampened with

water.

Do not strongly rub the camera

lens, as it may be scratched and

will not be able to transmit a

clear image.

• Do not allow organic solvent,

car wax, window cleaner or

glass coat to adhere to the cam-

era cover. If this happens, wipe

it off as soon as possible.
