image that is actually displayed on the screen.
WARNING
n When using the Multi-terrain Monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries.
lNever rely solely on the Multi-terrain Monitor. As with unequipped vehicles, drive
carefully while directly confirming the safety of your surroundings and the area to
the rear of the vehicle. Take particular care to avoid parked cars and other obstacles.
lDue to the characteristics of the camera lens, the actual position and distance of people and other obstacles will differ from
those shown on the Multi-terrain Monitor screen. Directly confirm the safety of your surroundings before driving. lAlways make sure to visually check behind you and your surroundings while you are driving.
lNever drive while looking only at the screen as the image on the screen is different from actual
conditions. If you are driving while looking only at the screen,
you may hit a person or an
object, resulting in an accident. When driving, be sure to check
the vehicle’ s surroundings with
your own eyes and the vehicle’ s mirrors.
lThe position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may
change due to factors such as number of passengers, load
capacity, and road gradient. Always make sure to visually check behind you and your surroundings while you are driving.
lIn low temperatures, the screen may darken or the images may
become faint.
Images of moving objects in particular may distort or disappear from the screen. Therefore, make sure to drive carefully while directly visually
confirming the safety of your surroundings.
lIf you replace your tires, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may be incorrect.
