Objects may be distorted momentarily until the Rear- View Monitor screen is displayed completely. When the shift selector is returned to a position other than R (Reverse), it may take some time until the screen changes. Objects on the screen may be distorted until they are completely displayed.
● When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display objects. This is not a malfunction.
● When strong light directly enters the camera, objects may not be displayed clearly.
● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.

● When the contrast of objects is low at night, pressing the SETTING button or ENTER button may not change the brightness.

● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, the RearView Monitor may not display objects. Clean the camera.
