A camera assists the driver by sending images to the screen
showing conditions in view
of
the camera. The camera uses
a wide-angle lens, therefore, there
is
a difference in distance
perspective between what
is
normally seen and what appears
on the screen. Also, the images shown by the rearview camera
are reversed, so
as
to appear the same
as
what
is
seen through
the rearview mirror.
The camera may not perform to full capability due to
variables such
as:
• weather conditions such
as
hard rain, snow,
fog
or
mud
• extremely high
or
low temperatures near camera
• slope
of
vehicle
and/or
roadway
• direct exposure to very bright light such

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,
electric shock or other injury.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so
may result in fire, etc.
WHEN USING A DRILLTO MAKE A HOLE, TAKE
PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS WEARING GOGGLES SO
FRAGMENTS
DO NOT GET INTO THE EYES.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
CALIBRATION REQUIRED.
If this camera system is not calibrated, its detection function
will not work properly.
It must be calibrated before use.
Calibration
is also necessary after remounting.
BE CAREFUL WHEN SETTING THE ALARM VOLUME.
Set the alarm volume to an audible level. Ifthe alarm cannot
be heard due to the volume
of the car radio, etc., it might
result in an accident.
BE AWARE OF DIFFERENCES IN DETECTION SENSITIVITY
LEVELS.
If the sensitivity level of the object detector is changed
from a high setting to a low setting, be aware
of differences
in detection levels. Objects that were detected under the
previous level will not be detected anymore, and this might
result in an accident.
BE AWARE OF THE OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE
OBJECT DETECTION
FUNCTION.
The warning function only works when the gear lever is in
the reverse position (R). Using the detection feature with
reverse OFF may result in an accident.
DO NOT USE WITH A TOW TRUCK.
If reversed while connected to a tow truck, it will falsely
detect the tow truck. Also, it cannot detect objects near the
tow truck, which may result in an accident.
DO NOT JUDGE SITUATIONS BASED ONLY ON THE
WARNING OF THE OBJECT DETECTION
FUNCTION.
Warnings may not always be given even when vehicles or
people are in danger of being hit. This is due to many factors
such
as vehicle speed or distance from your vehicle.
DO NOT IGNORE OBJECT DETECTION FUNCTION
WARNINGS.
Ifan object detection warning occurs, check the surrounding
area thoroughly.
~CAUTION

Feature
This camera system displays a live video
of
the area
behind
the vehicle. A separately installed
monitor
is
required to view this video.
When
the vehicle
is
placed in reverse, besides video, the system also detects
various objects (such
as
other cars
or
people) moving
behind
the vehicle. There
is
a visual and audible
warning given for each object detected.
There are
4
different display configurations for the rear view.
About Object Detection Function
This camera system detects objects from the camera image
and
warns drivers with a display
and
an
alarm.
The object detection function
is
useful in the following situations:
•
When
you reverse the car to exit a parking space at a shopping mall, this function helps to detect cars
that are driving from the right
or
the left and gives an audible warning.
•
When
you reverse the car to exit your garage toward the street, this function helps to detect cars that
are driving down the street
and
gives an audible warning.
• Objects moving awayfrom vehicle
are
not detected.
•
You
can
adjust the volume
of
the warning
beeps.
Refer
to
"Adjusting Alarm Volume"
(page
15).
•
You
can
adjust the sensitivity
to

6-EN
Cautions Regarding Object Detection Function
This camera system
is
designed to help
the
driver make safe driving decisions. It must
not
replace a thorough, visual inspection around
the
vehicle by the driver, before proceeding.
• This system cannot detect every object within
range
of
coming
in
contact with your
vehicle.
• This camera distorts object size and distance from the
vehicle.
We
are
not responsible for any accidents caused
by
driver misjudgement
or
conclusions based
on
objects
seen
or
unseen
by
this system.
This system uses the camera's image to detect moving objects. Therefore, only objects seen by the camera
are detectable.
There be times when a false warning
is
given with no moving object in the display. In
other
cases, no
warning at all
is
given although moving vehicles are visible in the display.
In addition, a warning may
not
be given
or
may
be
delayed in the following cases
or
for the following
objects.
• Object out
of
the
camera's scope
Your vehicle
x·--·
0
• Objects approaching from directly behind
• When both the vehicle and objects
are
motionless
-Motionless objects
are
difficult
to
detect. Therefore, there may
be
cases
where a warning
is
notgiven or the
distance
is
not
correct.
Be
sure
to
perform a visual
check.
• Roadpaint (for example, crosswalks),
tire
chocks,
curbstones
• Thin objects (for example,
cones
and poles)
• Low objects (for example, infants, children and small bicycles/tricycles)
•
Large
objects (for example, concrete block walls andguardrails)
• Objects not within
3.
7
m behind the vehicle
• Objects approachingfrom a
slope

•
If
multiple pedestrians crossing.
If
multiple pedestrians continuously approaching.
•
When
the object moves at the same speed as the vehicle
• Motionless objects when the vehicle moves very slowly
• Object moving at an extremely low speed
•
When
objects disappear
from
the camera's scope because
of
exhaustgases, rain, fog, snow, or
mud
• False detection because
of
exhaustgases, rain, snow, or road surface reflections
•
When
the vehicle moves
at
speeds equal to or more than 5
mph
(5
kmlh)
•
When
the object moves
at
speeds equal to or more than
25
mph
(40
km!h)
•
When
the detection range becomes narrower because the camera's scope
is
interrupted by the vehicle's body
•
When
tires are changed or the vehicle
is
loaded with heavy objects after calibration
• A particularly dark location
at
night
• A lightflashing near the vehicle or its own hazard lampsflashing.
•
When
light hits the camera directly
(If
a license plate lamp has been customized to be brighter than normal, etc.)
•If
the vehicle
is
tilted
• Reflection
of
light on the road surface while driving the vehicle
• Moving object that starts moving near the vehicle
•
If
the vehicle shadow shows up in the camera image
•
If
the headlights
of
another car reflect on the body
of
the vehicle
to
the side
About Selection
of
Warning Objects
If
multiple objects are detected, a
warning
is
given for
the
most
critical object in
both
the
right
and
left
images.
An
alarm
sounds
for
the
nearest object
on
either
the
right
or
left side.
The
warning
objects are selected according to
the
"arrival time"
to
the
vehicle. Therefore, objects at
higher
speeds are recognized as
high
priority
from
a longer distance. Even
when
a moving object at
lower speeds (for example, pedestrians) is closer
to
the
vehicle,
another
moving
object with a
shorter
arrival
time
(for example, a car)
is
preferentially displayed
if
such
an
object
is
detected.
For example:
There
is
a
pedestrian
moving
towards
your
vehicle at 2.5
mph
(4
km/h)
and
a car
from
your
vehicle
approaching
at
12
mph
(20
km/h).
The
car will reach
your
vehicle earlier.
In
this case, a
warning
is given for
the
car.
Your vehicle
12
mph (20 km/h)
Arrival
time
is
shorter
'---y----'
2.5
mph (4 km/h)
Arrival
time

Display
of
Detected Object
The display
when
an object
is
detected differs
depending
on
image configurations.
• When there
are
lots
of
objects present,
such
as
in
a
crowd
of
people, the outerframe light will blink
as
a
warning. Individual objects will not
be
detected.
• Because this camera system detects objects based
on
a Panorama View
image,
warnings
can
occur even
if
an
object
does
not show
on
the Ground View I Rear
View
screen.
• Panorama View Display
Indications
A small box appears
on
an object that enters the
camera's view.
The
box follows the object moving
through
the display.
• The box represents the objects approximate position
relative
to
your
vehicle.
There may
be
times when
the box
does
not appear
or
does
notfollow the object
accurately.
When an object
is
detected,
the
screen
is
enclosed by a red frame (first
time
only).
An
alarm also starts
to
sound.
•
The system boxes
off
the
object in red.
The warning ends when the object comes
directly behind the vehicle. No warning also
occurs when
the
object moves away from
the
vehicle.
• Rear View Display Indications
A
triangle
mark
appears
on
the leftmost

Ground View:
Displays
an
image
down
to
the
lower
section
of
the
car.
Use
this
to
determine
the
car's position in
relation
to
the
curb, etc.
Corner View:
Displays a divided image left and
right
of
center.
Use
this mainly
when
checking
the
left and
right
directional
view
.
• No guidelines appear in Corner View.
• The rearview camera image
is
reversed to have the
same
perspective as the rearview mirror. However,
due to the camera'sfisheye lens, there
is
a distortion
of
the actual distance
as
it appears in the display.
• Images
may
not
be clearly displayed in thefollowing
conditions. This
is
normal.
-In
the dark (nighttime, etc.)
-The temperature near the lens
is
high or
low.
-The camera has water droplets on it or the
humidity
is
high (rainy day, etc.).
-Foreign substances (dirt, etc.) are on or
around
the
camera.
-Sun light or the light
of
a headlamp directly enters
the camera lens.
• The guidelines in the display
may
not
always
correspond to actual distances
from
objects being
viewed. Factors such as road surface,
number
of
passengers, load weight, suspension adjustments,
etc. can affect the accuracy
of
the display. Always use
visual inspection to verify safe driving conditions
of
your
surroundings.
About
the
rear camera guide
• Indication mark meaning
When
you put the car in reverse gear, the monitor
switches to the rear camera view. Guidelines
appear to help in determining distances to
surrounding objects (vehicles, walls, etc.).
CD
Car width extension marks (red, yellow
and green in order
of
proximity)
The marks
are
extensions
of
the
vehicles
width.
They provide guidance
when
backing
into
a parking space.
®
Distance guidelines
The horizontal lines represent
the
distance
from
the
rear
of
the
car (from
the
rear end
of
the
bumper).
• The lines
do
not
move
in synchronization
with
the
steering wheel.
•
Each
line represents a distance
of
0.5
m or
20" (red), 1 m or 39" (yellow) and 2 m or 79"
(green) behind
the
vehicle.
• Depending on the condition
of
the car or road
surface, the range
of
vision
may
vary.
• The camera's range
of
vision has a limit. Objects
near both ends
of
the
bumper
and
objects
under
the
bumper
may
be
out
of
sight
of
the camera.
• The rear camera image
may
have a tint which
is
different
from
the actual surroundings.
•
Depending
on the
car,
the guidance
may
deviate to
the right or left. This
is
not
a malfunction.

In the display, according to the distance
guidelines,
the truck seems to be parked
about 39"
(1 m) away (at position 8).1n fact,
however,
if you reversed to position A, you
would collide with
the truck.
In
the display, positions A, 8 and Cseem to
be located in order of proximity. However,
position A and
Care the same distance, and
8
is further awaythan positions A and C.
• The car width extension mark represents the distance
to the road surface, so when an object on the road
surface
is displayed on the screen, the mark does not
represent the actual distance to the object.
• In thefollowing conditions, screen visibility
may be
impaired. This
is not a malfunction.
- When it is dark (at night, etc.).
-
When the temperature around the camera lens is
high or low.
- When water drops adhere to the camera, or when
the
humidity is high (such as rainy weather, etc.).
- When foreign bodies (such as mud, etc.) adhere to
the camera or its peripheral area.
-
When sunlight or headlights directly strike the
camera lens.
Error between the display and
actual road surface
Under the following conditions, errors are
produced between the display guidelines
and the
actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a
case when the camera
is installed in the standard
position.)

the
case of an upward slope behind the car,
the distance guidelines appear further from
the vehicle than their actual position. For
example,
if there is an object on the upward
slope,
it may appear further away than its
actual position.
Also, an error may occur between
the
guidance and the actual path of the car on
the road surface.
