PARKING ASSIST MONITOR SYSTEM (w/o Side Monitor System) - PRECAUTION

When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, "System initializing" may appear on the multi-media module receiver assembly. In this case, restore the steering angle neutral point ().

Depending on the parts that are replaced or operations that are performed during vehicle inspection or maintenance, calibration of other systems as well as the parking assist monitor system may be needed ().

• HINT:

• Each adjusted value for the calibration of the parking assist monitor system will be stored in the multi-media module receiver assembly.

When the lens of the rear television camera assembly is dirty, wash the lens with water and wipe it off with a soft cloth to obtain clear images. For heavy dirt, use neutral detergent to clean the lens.

The parking assist monitor system (w/o Side Monitor System) may not function properly if subjected to a severe blow by any hard object.

Do not scrub the cover part of the camera (resin made). Scrubbing may scratch the cover and affect the image. Prevent organic solvents, waxes, bond removing solvents or glass coating from adhering to the cover. If such material adheres to the cover, clean it off immediately and wash it with water.

Exposing the camera to a sudden temperature change may affect proper functioning of the camera.

A clear image may not appear if the camera is dirty with snow, mud, etc. In that case, wash it with water and wipe off the lens. Use a detergent to remove dirt if necessary.

When washing the vehicle with a high-pressure washer, do not spray water on the rear television camera assembly or surrounding area. High-pressure water can damage the camera.

Noise may occur in the image during power back door operation (w/ Power Back Door System).

Electrical devices are used in the cabin (noise may occur in the image).

Accessories that generate radio waves have been installed (noise may occur in the image).

The outer mirror switch assembly is operated (noise may occur in the image).

The camera lens is frosted over (the image immediately after turning the ignition switch ON may be blurred or darker than normal).

The camera lens is dirty with snow, mud, etc.

A strong beam of light, such as a sunbeam or headlight, hits the camera.

It is too dark around the camera (at night etc.).

The ambient temperature around the camera is either too high or too low.

The vehicle is tilted at a steep angle.

The rear television camera assembly lens is scratched.

The rear television camera assembly lens has drops of water on it or the humidity is high.

When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, or mercury lights etc., the lights and the illuminated area may appear to flicker.

The ambience of the camera is too bright. (When a strong light, such as a sunbeam reflected off the vehicle body, hits the camera, the image may be blurred. This is called the "SMEAR" phenomenon, particular to the CCD camera.)
