Parking Assist Monitor System Precaution

Pay attention to the following points when servicing.

1. If the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal was disconnected, the estimated course lines may not be displayed on the image of the area behind the vehicle. In this case, perform "Correct the Steering Angle Neutral Point" (Click here).
   

2. 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 (Click here).
   

   HINT:

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

3. A clear image may not be displayed if there is foreign matter such as water drops, snow or mud on the rear television camera lens. In such a case, wash the lens with a large amount of water and then wipe it with a soft wet cloth. Do not scrub the camera lens as scrubbing may scratch the camera lens and affect the quality of the image.
   

Notes for the rear television camera assembly

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

2. The cover part of the camera is made of resin. If any organic solvent, degreaser, wax or glass coating contacts the cover, immediately wipe it off and wash the cover with water or cracks may develop.
   

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

4. A clear image may not be displayed if there is foreign matter such as water drops, snow or mud on the rear television camera lens. In such a case, wash the lens with a large amount of water and then wipe it with a soft wet cloth. Do not scrub the camera lens as scrubbing may scratch the camera lens and affect the quality of the image.
