■The rear camera detection function is operational when
The rear camera detection function is operational when the following

- If this message is displayed only when the R shift position is selected,
the
rear camera lens may be dirty. Clean the rear camera lens.
■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
- Some pedestrians, such as the following, may not be detected by the rear
camera detection function, preventing the function from operating properly:

attached) or
scratched
- When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of
another
vehicle, shines directly into the rear camera
- When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes
suddenly, such as at the entrance or exit of a garage or underground
parking lot
- When backing up in a dim environment such as during dusk or in an
underground parking lot
- When the camera position and direction are deviated
- When a towing hook is attached
- When water droplets are flowing on the camera lens
- When the vehicle height is extremely changed (nose up, nose down)
- When tire chains is used
■Situations in which the system may operate unexpectedly

- Moving objects, such as a car or motorcycle
- Objects moving toward your vehicle when backing up, such as flags or
puddles (or airborne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow)

- In some situations, such as the following, the rear camera detection
function
may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area.
- When backing up toward the roadside or a bump on the road
- When backing up toward an incline/decline
- If the rear of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried
load
- If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is
installed to the
rear bumper
- If the orientation of the rear camera has been changed
- If a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle
- When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are
attached) or
scratched
- When water is flowing over the rear camera lens
- If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as the
emergency
flashers of another vehicle
- When a tire chains is used
- Situations in which the rear camera detection function may be difficult
to
notice
- If buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy,
the volume
of the audio system volume is high, the air conditioning system is
being used, etc.
- If the temperature in the cabin is extremely high or low, the audio
system
screen may not operate correctly.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The recognition and control capabilities for this system are limited.
