proper backing up. Always turn and
check that it is safe to do so before
backing up. Always back up slowly.
.Objects viewed in the RearView

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINESGuiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
*A
are displayed on the
monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
.Red line
*1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
.Yellow line*2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
.Green line
*3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
.Green line
*4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)Vehicle width guide lines
*5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
*6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the selector lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
.Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
.Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
.If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predicted course
line may be displayed incorrectly.

.On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course line and the
actual course line.
.If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predicted
course lines may be displayed in-
correctly. If this occurs, please per-
form the following procedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock while the engine is
running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight
road for more than 5 minutes.
.When the steering wheel is turned
with the ignition switch in the ACC
position, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
.The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
.The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used
as a reference only when the vehicle
is on a level paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is
for reference only and may bedifferent than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
.When backing-up the vehicle up a
hill objects viewed in the monitor
are further than they appear. When
backing-up the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge dis-
tances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
