You, the driver, must also remember to drive safely and properly. Use of the Digital Backup Camera is not a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving practices.

Always back up slowly and with caution.
• Never depend on the Backup Camera entirely when backing up. The image on the monitor display screen may be slightly different from actual and real-time conditions. Objects viewed in the rear view monitor differ from actual distances because a wide-angle lens is used. So use the camera as an aid and always follow intended driving practices to properly judge distances from objects.
• The Backup Camera’s assisted low lux lighting performance feature is also an aid to a driver. Always use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed image may be not well lit or not entirely visible. Always proceed with caution and perform double-checks before proceeding.
• The area displayed by the Backup Camera is limited. It does not display objects that are close to or just below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or objects out of the camera’s view. The camera’s view can change according to your vehicle’s orientation on the road or changing road conditions.
• Be sure to check the camera is properly functioning, is properly positioned and securely mounted, every time you operate your vehicle.
• Make sure your trunk or hatch operates correctly, as intended, before and after installation.
• Proceed with caution when cleaning your vehicle around the camera. Avoid excess water exposure around the camera especially with spraying or a power washer.
• Please make sure to keep the camera clean and unobstructed from any debris.
• Follow all traffic laws and motor vehicle regulations.
