Caution  
Observe the following cautions  
when using this unit.  
R Do not use this system for any purpose other  
than mounting on a road vehicle.  
Non-vehicular use (such as use outdoors  
or on a pleasure boat) could cause smoking  
generation, ignition, electric shock, injury and  
breakdown.  
R Do not damage the rear view camera cord.  
Water and moisture can move along the cord  
from the damaged area and enter the camera,  
causing fire, electric shock and breakdown.  
R Route the rear view camera cord inside  
the vehicle, so that water cannot penetrate  
them.  
If water enters the vehicle during rain or car  
washing, it could cause fire or electric shock.  
R Order wiring, mounting and dismounting  
work from a specialist engineer.  
R Do not use an automatic car–washing  
machine to wash the vehicle.  
Wiring, mounting and dismounting work  
requires specialist skills and experience. For  
safety, ask your dealer to perform such work.  
In the case that this system is installed in a  
vehicle with a drive computer or a navigation  
system, improper removal of the battery may  
result in erasure of system’s memory.  
R Only use the accessories provided and the  
parts specified.  
Use of non-specified parts can cause internal  
damage to the equipment, and insecure  
mounting could allow it to fall off, causing  
accident, breakdown and fire.  
Exposure to water from a high pressure hose  
or impact from a brush may cause the system  
to fall resulting in accident or injury. Water  
entering inside the camera can result in a fire,  
electric shock or breakdown.  
Observe the following cautions  
when installing.  
R Do not damage cords.  
Do not damage, pull, bend, twist or modify  
cords, place heavy objects on them, or place  
them near hot equipment or in contact with  
hot parts of the vehicle. Breaking or shorting  
cords could cause fire, electric shock, or  
accidents.  
R Mount the equipment securely, so that it  
cannot come off and fall.  
Wipe the mounting area clean of dirt, wax  
etc., then fasten the camera securely in place.  
Re-affixing adhesive parts or use of general-  
purpose double-sided tape could cause weak  
bonding that would allow the equipment to  
drop off while the vehicle is in motion, causing  
accident or injury. Check the state of bonding  
or mounting (loose screws etc.) occasionally.  
O
Route cords so that they cannot be pinched  
by the body of the vehicle, screws or  
moving parts (seat rails etc.).  
Do not press cords with the point of a  
O
screwdriver or similar implement.  
 
Notes on use  
Carefully read the instruction manuals for the connected devices (Car  
Monitor etc.).  
Before reversing, always check behind you by eye.  
O
This product uses mirrored display (which mimics the orientation of the rear-view and side  
mirrors), and is for checking the view behind the vehicle.  
It is intended to augment the driver’s field of vision behind the vehicle. It is not able to view  
O
all hazards and obstacles.  
It uses a wide-angle lens, which makes close areas appear wider and further areas narrower.  
O
This may cause perceived distances to differ from actual distances.  
This product can be connected to a monitor etc. with RCA-type video inputs. When the  
shift lever is in reverse (R), the linkage function (camera interrupt display) and scaled  
display correspond to the connected display device, so we are unable to guarantee normal  
operation.  
Check the mounting of the system components regularly  
O
Check that there are no loose screws, and that the camera bracket is not detached.  
Check that the rubber water seals where the cord enters the vehicle are parallel to the rubber  
O
gasket where they are in contact.  
Do not display a direct view of the sun for long periods  
O
A burned image could remain on the screen.  
Do not use a cellular telephone or wireless equipment close  
to the system  
O
Screen noise and malfunctions could result.  
You are advised to use cellular telephone or wireless equipment away from this system.  
Disclaimers  
O
Any repairs to breakdowns or damage caused by fire, earthquake, third-party action, other  
accident, actions of the user, whether by accident or design, incorrect operation or usage  
under other abnormal conditions will, as a rule, require payment of repair fees.  
Not guaranteed when equipped in a commercial-use vehicle (buses, trucks, taxis, goods  
O
vehicles etc.).

mounting position. Adjust the angle and check that the required field of view is  
visible. (It is not possible to re-affix components.)  
Mount the camera so that it does not contact the vehicle body or rear wipers.  
O
QFor secure mounting  
O
Do not work outdoors in rainy weather.  
When the air temperature is low, use the vehicle’s interior heater or defogger, or a  
O
dryer, to warm the bonding area.  
Use a dryer etc. to thoroughly remove all moisture. Dirt and moisture on the bonding  
O
surface reduce bond strength and could cause the camera to fall off.  
After mounting the camera, do not expose it to rain or other water, pull it or subject it  
O
to strong forces for 24 hours.  
Note:  
O
The camera cannot be affixed to painted or glass surfaces which have been treated  
with fluoroplastics (treatments which shed water droplets, mud etc.), or to re-painted  
surfaces.
