■ Rear view monitor system camera
The distance that appears on the screen
between three-dimensional objects (such
as vehicles) and flat surfaces (such as
the road) and the actual distance differ as
follows.
In reality, C = A < B (C and A are equally
far away; B is farther than C and A). How-
ever, on the screen, the situation appears
to be A < B < C.
On the screen, it appears that a truck is
parking about 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) away. How-
ever, in reality if you back up to point A,
you will hit the truck.

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
appears on the screen differs from the
actual distance.
In the following cases, it may become dif-
ficult to see 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.
● When the camera has scratches or dirt
on it.
