HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
bumper line
sAare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
c Red line
s1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
c Yellow line
s2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
c Green line
s3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
c Green line
s4: approx. 10 ft (3 m) Vehicle width guide lines
s5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
s6:
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
c Always turn and check that it is safe to do so
before backing up. Always back up slowly.
c Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road
condition and road grade.
c If the tires are replaced with different sized
tires, the predicted course line may be dis-
played incorrectly. c
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line.
c If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs, drive
the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5
minutes.
c When the steering wheel is turned with the
ignition switch in the ACC position, the pre-
dicted course lines may be displayed
incorrectly.
c 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.
c The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide line should be used as a refer-
ence only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance between
the vehicle and displayed objects.

cWhen backing up the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects 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 prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.
1. Visually check that the parking space is safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
sAwhen the selector lever
is moved to the R (Reverse) position. 3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the
steering wheel so that the predicted
course linessBenter the parking space
sC.

sDparallel to
the parking space
sCwhile referring to
the predicted course lines.
5. When the vehicle is parked in the space completely, move the selector lever to the
P (Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED AND
ACTUAL DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide 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 be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. For example, the display shows 3 ft
(1.0 m) to the place
sA, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on the hill is the place
sB. Note
that any object on the hill is viewed in the
monitor further than it appears.
