Rear view monitor system  
Clock  
The rear view monitor system assists  
the driver by displaying an image of  
the rear of the vehicle while backing  
up. The displayed image on the screen  
is a horizontally reversed mirror image  
of the inside rear view mirror.  
CAUTION  
Never depend on the rear view  
monitor system entirely when back-  
ing up. Always make sure your in-  
tended path is clear.  
To display the rear view image on the  
screen, place the selector lever in the  
“R” position when the “IG−ON” mode is  
enabled.  
Use caution just as you would when  
backing up any vehicle.  
Never back up while looking only at  
the screen. The image on the  
screen is different from actual con-  
ditions. Depicted distances between  
objects and flat surfaces will differ  
from actual distances. If you back  
up while looking only at the screen,  
you may hit a vehicle, a person or  
an object. When backing up, be  
sure to check behind and all around  
the vehicle visually and with mir-  
rors before proceeding.  
If you move the selector lever out of the  
“R” position, the screen returns to the  
previous screen. Operating another func-  
tion of the navigation system will display  
another screen.  
The digital clock indicates the time.  
The hybrid system must be in “ACC” or  
“IGON”.  
The rear view monitor system is a supple-  
ment device intended to assist back up.  
When backing up, be sure to check be-  
hind and all around the vehicle visually.  
To set the hour: Push the “H” button.  
To set the minutes: Push the “M” button.  
If the electrical power source has been  
disconnected from the clock, the time dis-  
play will automatically be set to 1:00.  
Do not use the system when the  
back door is not completely closed.  
When the instrument panel lights are  
turned on, the brightness of the time indi-  
cator will be reduced.  
302  
When replacing the tires, please consult  
your Toyota dealer. If you replace the  
tires, the area displayed on the screen  
may change.  
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the  
position and mounting angle of the  
camera may change. Be sure to  
have the camera’s position and  
mounting angle checked at your  
Toyota dealer.  
If the temperature changes rapidly,  
such as when hot water is poured  
on the vehicle in cold weather, the  
system may not operate normally.

water droplets, snow, or mud ad-  
heres to the lens, rinse with water  
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the  
lens is extremely dirty, wash it with  
a mild cleanser and rinse.  
On screen  
Use your own eyes to confirm the  
vehicle’s surroundings, as the dis-  
played image may become faint or  
dark, and moving images will be  
distorted, or not entirely visible  
when the outside temperature is  
low. When backing up, be sure to  
check behind and all around the ve-  
hicle visually and with mirror before  
proceeding.  
Check surroundings for safety.

AREA DISPLAYED ON SCREEN  
When water droplets are adhering to  
the camera, or when humidity is high  
(for example, when it rains)  
Image is displayed approximately level  
on screen.  
When foreign matter (for example,  
snow or mud) adheres to the camera  
lens  
The area detected by the camera is  
limited. Objects which are close to  
either corner of the bumper or under  
the bumper cannot be seen on the  
screen.  
When the sun or the beam of head-  
lights is shining directly into the cam-  
era lens  
The area displayed on the screen  
may vary according to vehicle orien-  
tation or road conditions.  
THE REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM  
CAMERA  
The rear view monitor system camera is  
located on the back door as shown in the  
illustration. The camera uses  
a
special  
lens. The distance of the image that ap-  
pears on the screen differs from the actu-  
al distance.  
In the following cases, it may become  
difficult to see the images on the screen,  
even when the system is functioning.

To replace the luggage cover, adjust the  
cover so that “TOP” is facing upwards.  
After removing the luggage cover, stow it  
in the luggage storage box or place it  
somewhere other than the passenger  
compartment. This will prevent passengers  
from being injured in the event of a sud-  
den stop or accident.

Floor mat  
Use a floor mat of the correct size.  
CAUTION  
If the vehicle carpet and floor mat have  
2 holes, then they are designed for use  
with locking clips. Attach the floor mat to  
the vehicle carpet using the clips. Lock  
the clips into the holes in the vehicle  
carpet.
