How to use the rear-view camera
When you place the gearshift lever or selector lever
to the “R” position with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position, the view behind the vehicle will au-
tomatically appear on the screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS). When you move the gearshift lever or
the selector lever to any other position, the screen
will return to its original indication.

camera have the meanings shown below. Please
use them as guides.

yond the width of the vehicle on either side

CAUTION
l
The rear-view camera has a special lens
that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further
away than they actually are.
NOTE
l
It is possible to set the display language of
the screen to English, Spanish, French, Ger-
man, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, Danish or Por-
tuguese.
For details, please refer to the separate own-
er’s manual for “MITSUBISHI Multi Com-
munication System (MMCS)”.
l
When the vehicle is tilting because of the num-
ber of people in the vehicle, the weight and
positioning of luggage, and/or the condition
of the road surface, the lines in the view
from the rear-view camera may not be accu-
rately positioned relative to the actual road.
l
The lines in the view from the rear-view cam-
era are based on a level, flat road surface. Do
not use them as a guide for distances to solid
objects.
l
Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l
In the following situations, the screen indica-
tion may be difficult to see. There is no ab-
normality.
• Low light (nighttime)
• When the light of the sun or the light
from a vehicle’s headlamps shines direct-
ly into the lens
→ When an extremely bright spot is
shown on the screen, colour smearing* (a
characteristic of CCD cameras) can occur.
l
Colour smearing: When an extremely bright
spot (for example, sunlight that has reflected
off the bumper) is shown on the screen, it ap-
pears to leave a vertical trail.
l
If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
