3. Exposing the camera to a sudden temperature change may cause the camera to function
improperly.
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.
b. Images are difficult to discern even in normal conditions if:
1. The camera screen is frosted over (the image immediately after turning the ignition switch to
ON may be blurred or darker than normal).
2. A strong beam of light, such as a sunbeam or headlight, shines on the camera.
3. The vehicle is in a dark area (at night, etc.).
4. The ambient temperature around the camera is either too high or too low.
HINT:
When a strong light, such as a sunbeam reflected from another vehicles body, shines on the
camera, the image may be blurred. This is called "smear" and is common for the CCD
camera.
