When driving
■ Rear view monitor system camera
■ Smear effect
In the following cases, it may become diffi-
cult to see the images on the screen, even
when the system is functioning correctly:
● The vehicle is in a dark area, such as at
night.
● The temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low.
● Water droplets are on the camera lens
or humidity is high, such as when it
rains.
● Foreign matter, such as snow or mud,
adheres to the camera lens.
● The sun or headlights are shining
directly into the camera lens.
If a bright light, such as sunlight reflected
off the vehicle body, is picked up by the
camera, a smear effect* characteristic to
the camera may occur.
*: Smear effectA phenomenon that
occurs when a bright light is picked up by
the camera; when transmitted by the
camera, the light source appears to have
a vertical streak above and below it.
