 Do not route the cord under the back 
door (inside). Fasten with cord clamps at 
key points, then bring the 
cord in where the clearance 
from the edge of the door 
is wider.

							 Note:O   Open and close the back door or trunk lid slowly to check that the camera cord is not 
pinched or abraded by the door/lid. Moisture or water can enter through the damaged area 
of the cord and penetrate to the interior of the camera, causing breakdowns.
O   Route the camera cord as far as possible from the antenna cord.
(It could cause noise in TV and radio signals.)
O   If AM radio broadcasts are affected by noise, move the camera cord further from the vehicle 
wiring harness. Rear view camera  Trunk  lid  Cord  clamp

							 Note:O   The camera cannot be affi xed to painted or glass surfaces which have been treated 
with fl uoroplastics (treatments which shed water droplets, mud etc.), or to re-painted 
surfaces.  Make connections and placement tentatively at fi rst, to check positions. Repeated 
affi xing weakens the adhesive.
O   The screw holes to use, and the possible angle adjustment, vary according to the 
mounting position. Adjust the angle and check that the required fi eld of view is 
visible. (It is not possible to re-affi x components.)
O   Mount the camera so that it does not contact the vehicle body or rear wipers.
QFor secure mounting
O   Do not work outdoors in rainy weather.O   When the air temperature is low, use the vehicle’s interior heater or defogger, or a 
dryer, to warm the bonding area.
O   Use a dryer etc. to thoroughly remove all moisture. Dirt and moisture on the bonding 
surface reduce bond strength and could cause the camera to fall off.
O   After mounting the camera, do not expose it to rain or other water, pull it or subject it 
to strong forces for 24 hours.
