OPERATING TIPS
●When the selector lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the rearview monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
● It may take some time until the rearview
monitor is displayed after the selector lever
has been shifted to R from another position
or to another position from R. Objects may
be distorted momentarily until the rearview
monitor screen is displayed completely.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
● When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
● The colors of objects on the rearview monitor
may differ somewhat from those of the ac-
tual object. ●
Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the rearview monitor may not clearly display
objects. Clean the camera.
● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolor-
ation. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
● Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
● Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with mild detergent diluted with water. When you push the
CAMERAbutton or shift the
selector lever into the R (Reverse) position while
the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Around View Monitor operates. The monitor
displays various views of the position of the
vehicle.
Available views:
● Bird-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
● Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
● Front View
The view to the front of the vehicle.
● RearView
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
● Rear-Wide View
An approximately 180-degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking.
AROUND VIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-27
Front and rearview
Guiding 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 operating
the vehicle. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when 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.
The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
WARNING
● The distance between objects viewed in the
rearview differs from actual distance be-
cause a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in
the rearview will appear visually opposite
than when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line.
● If predicted course line are displayed incor-
rectly, perform the following procedure:
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for 100 m at a speed of above 30 km/h.
● 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 on the rearview will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in the rear
center of the vehicle.

NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the neutral position, both the right and
left predicted course lines
6are displayed.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon on
the bird-eye view may differ somewhat from the
actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are
indicated in black.
After pushing the ignition switch, with the
Non-viewable Area Reminder (models with
navigation)/Blind-Area Reminder (models with-
out navigation) turned to ON, the non-viewable area
2is highlighted in yellow for 7 seconds
after the bird-eye view is displayed.
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
an object, the corner sonar indicator
3ap-
pears.
WARNING
● Objects in the bird-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the
cameras on the outside mirrors, the front
and the rear of the vehicle.
● Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam
of the views.
● Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
● The view for the bird-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
● A line on the ground may be misaligned and
is not seen as being straight at the seam of
the views. The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the vehicle.
