INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
Images are difficult to discern even in normal conditions if:

* Noise may occur in the image while adjusting or retracting the outer rear view mirror assembly RH.
* Noise may occur in the image depending on electrical devices used in the cabin.
* Noise may occur in the image if accessories that generate radio waves have been installed.
* The camera screen is frosted over (the image immediately after turning the power switch on (IG) may be blurred or darker than normal).
* The camera lens is dirty with snow, mud, etc.
* A strong beam of light, such as a sunbeam or headlight, hits the camera.
* It is too dark around the camera (at night etc.).
* The ambient temperature around the camera is either too high or too low.
* The vehicle is tilted at a steep angle.
* 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.)
