SIDE MONITOR SYSTEM PRECAUTION


  1. PRECAUTION FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

    Note


    • After the power switch is turned off, the display and navigation module display (HDD navigation system) records various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the power switch off, make sure to wait for the time specified in the following table before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      Waiting Time before Disconnecting Cable from Negative (-) Battery Terminal
      Specification Waiting Time
      w/o Telematics transceiver 60 sec.
      w/ Telematics transceiver 120 sec.

    • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the following system after the terminal is reconnected.

  2. POINTS TO NOTE WHEN SERVICING


    1. Pay attention to the following points when servicing.


      1. When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, "System initializing" may appear on the multi-display. In this case, restore 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 side monitor system may be needed Click here.

        Tech Tips

        The side monitor system calibration adjustment values are stored in the parking assist ECU.

      3. When the lens of the side television camera assembly is dirty, wash the lens with water and wipe it off with a soft cloth to obtain clear images. For heavy dirt, use neutral detergent to clean the lens.

  3. NOTES FOR SIDE TELEVISION CAMERA


    1. Notes for the side television camera assembly


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

      2. Do not scrub the cover part of the camera (resin made). Scrubbing may scratch the cover and affect the image. Prevent organic solvents, waxes, bond removing solvents or glass coating from adhering to the cover. If such material adheres to the cover, clean it off immediately and wash with water.

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

      4. A clear image may not appear if the camera is dirty with snow, mud, etc. In that case, wash it with water and wipe off the lens. Use a detergent to remove dirt if necessary.

    2. Images are difficult to discern even in normal conditions if:


      1. Noise may occur in the image while adjusting or retracting the outer rear view mirror assembly (passenger side).

      2. Noise may occur in the image depending on electrical devices used in the cabin.

      3. Noise may occur in the image if accessories that generate radio waves have been installed.

      4. The camera screen is frosted over (the image immediately after turning the power switch on (IG) may be blurred or darker than normal).

      5. The camera lens is dirty with snow, mud, etc.

      6. A strong beam of light, such as a sunbeam or headlight, hits the camera.

      7. It is too dark around the camera (at night etc.).

      8. The ambient temperature around the camera is either too high or too low.

      9. The vehicle is tilted at a steep angle.

      10. The ambience of the camera is too bright. (When a strong light, such as a sunbeam reflected off the vehicle body, hits the camera, the image may be blurred. This is called the "SMEAR" phenomenon, peculiar to the CCD camera.)
