abnormal noise, discontinue use immediately and always consult the dealer where the Rear View
Back up Camera System was purchased. If the Rear View Back up Camera System continues to
be used, it could result in an accident, fire, or electrocution.
• If power to the power cable has been cut or a fuse has blown, verify that the cable has not been
shorted, and replace any blown fuses with a new fuse of the same current rating. (Ampere is
displayed on the fuse.) If a non-specified fuse is used, a fire or malfunction could occur.
• Be sure to route wiring so that it does not come into contact with heated parts. Otherwise, the wire
covering will melt and cause a short, resulting in a fire or electrocution.
• Do not use this Rear View Back up Camera System if it appears damaged such as when there is
no display or sound output. Otherwise, it could result in an accident, fire, or electrocution.
• Do not touch this Rear View Back up Camera System during extreme weather conditions such as

• Be sure to use the Rear View Back up Camera System in the specified manner. If a non-specified
part is used, the internal parts of the Rear View Back up Camera System can be damaged or
detach because of improper attachment, resulting in an accident.
• Do not install the ECU box to a location where rain, moisture, or dust can penetrate. If water,
moisture, or dust penetrates the ECU box, it may cause fire or smoke.
• Do not install the ECU box where heat is retained such as under a carpet. Heat from the ECU box
cannot be dissipated, causing a fire, malfunction, or deterioration.
• Wire the cable so that it does not touch any metallic areas. The cable could be damaged from
contact, causing a fire or electrocution.
−3−
• Route wiring properly according to the instructions. An incorrect connection might cause a fire or
accident.
• Be careful and prevent the wiring harness from being pinched between the vehicle body, screws,
or moving parts such as the seat rails. It could cause an accident, electrocution, or fire due to an
open or short circuit.
• The Rear View Back up Camera System is for in-car use only and is not to be used outside of the
vehicle. If it is used outside of the vehicle it could result in electrocution or other injury.
• Install the camera on the vehicle during sunny, daytime hours. If installed in rainy or foggy
weather, high humidity will weaken the adhesion strength of the double-sided adhesive tape, and
the camera may fall off, resulting in an accident or injury.
• Avoid moisture such as water, rain, fog, snow or applying excessive force to the camera for 24
hours after installation. The adhesion strength of the double-sided adhesive tape will weaken and
the camera may fall off, resulting in an accident or injury.
• Be careful when handling the double-sided adhesive tape. Touching the sticky surface of the tape
or re-attaching the bracket weakens the adhesion strength. The bracket may fall off, resulting in
an accident or injury.
• This Rear View Back up Camera System has been designed to assist the driver in confirming the
rear view when backing up the vehicle into a garage or when parallel parking. For safety reasons,
it is important for the driver to take extra precautions when backing up.

BEFORE USING THE REAR VIEW
BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEM
Regarding methods of use
• The Rear View Back up Camera System is a devise designed only to assist the driver. The driver
must take full precautions to confirm the safety and conditions around the vehicle.
• Water droplets on the camera lens could adversely affect the image.
• The positioning appearing on the screen changes according to the vehicle conditions (number of
occupants and weight of cargo). Always directly confirm the safety of the rear of the vehicle and
its surroundings visually while operating the vehicle.
• Never reverse the vehicle while looking only at the image appearing on the screen. Always
confirm the safety of the rear of the vehicle and its surrounding by using both the rear view mirror
and the door mirrors in combination with the rear view camera.
• The actual position and distance of persons or objects appearing on the screen may differ
depending on the properties of the camera lens.
Regarding use
• Do not knock the camera or allow it to be hit forcefully by an object. Otherwise, it could result in
the camera being damaged.
• Exposing the camera lens to extreme temperature change via a direct flame, hot drier or hot water
could break or damage the camera lens.
• Do not allow the camera lens to capture images of direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Otherwise it could leave permanent impressions on the screen.
• The screen image could distort at the moment the rear view image is displayed (differs depending
on the monitor model connected to the system). The image will stabilize soon afterwards.
• If the system is used for a long period of time, white streaks and lines will appear due to increased
temperature, however, because of the CCD properties the system will not be damaged.
• Screen flicker may occur while in fluorescent-lit areas utilizing 50 Hz power supplies, however, this
will not cause damage to the system.
• Do not wipe the camera unit and lens area, installation bracket, or camera cable with volatile
chemicals or cleaning agents containing alcohol, benzene, thinner, or gasoline. Use of these
chemicals or cleaners will cause deformation, deterioration or damage to the system.
• Do not wipe any part of the system with cleaners containing polishing or abrasion agents as they
will cause scratching.
• If the lens becomes soiled, wipe lightly with a soft, clean cloth soaked in water. Wiping with
excessive force using a dry cloth could cause scratching.
• Do not scratch or nick the camera cable. Water or moisture penetrating the camera via a crack or
opening in the camera could cause electrocution, fire, or other irreparable damage.
• If the vehicle is to be washed with the camera installed, avoid water directly contacting the cable
area to prevent water from penetrating into the vehicle cabin.
• Do not allow highly pressurized water from automatic car washing machines or high-pressure car
washers to contact the camera unit. Otherwise, the camera could fall off, or water could penetrate
the camera unit due to an inability to maintain a waterproof seal, which could result in
electrocution, fire, or other irreparable damage.
• Inspect the camera and cables periodically. Verify that the installation screws have not become
loose, or the installation bracket is not separating from the installation surface. Tighten any loose
screws. If the camera falls off and hits a pedestrian it could result in an accident or injury.
• If direct sunlight or strong light (sunlight reflected from the bumper, or headlights) is directed at the
camera lens, it could cause fluctuations in the light source and vertical lines (streaks) to appear on
the screen, however, this does not indicate a malfunction or damage.
