When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, "System initializing" may appear on the multi-display 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 side monitor system may be needed ().

2.NOTES FOR SIDE TELEVISION CAMERA

Notes for the side television camera assembly

The side monitor system may not function properly if subjected to a severe blow by any hard object.

Do not scrub the outer casing of the camera (made of transparent resin). 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 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.

Images can be difficult to discern even in normal conditions. For example:

Noise may occur in the image while adjusting or retracting the outer rear view mirror assembly.

Noise may occur in the image depending on electrical devices used in the cabin.

Noise may occur in the image if accessories that generate radio waves have been installed.

The camera screen is extremely cold (the image immediately after turning the engine switch on (IG) 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 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.)
