.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

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
