HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a paved, level 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.
● Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the bird-
eye view are greatly affected by the number
of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade.
● If the tires are replaced with different sized
tires, the predictive course lines and the
bird-eye view may be displayed incorrectly.
● When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than they
appear. When driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear. Use the mirrors or actually look
to properly judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines
are wider than the actual width and course.
4-22Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

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.
Predictive course lines
6:
Indicate the predictive course when operating
the vehicle. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the steering
wheel is turned. The predictive 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 predictive
course lines and the actual course line.
● If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predictive course lines may
be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs, per-
form the following procedure:
– 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 pre-
dictive 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 predictive 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 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.

Guiding lines that indicate the width and the
front end of the vehicle are displayed on the
monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
1shows the front part
of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
2shows the vehicle
width including the outside mirror.
The extensions
3of both the front1and side
2lines are shown with a green dotted line. The corner sonar indicator
4will appear when
a corner of the vehicle moves closer to an
object.
The corner sonar indicator
4can be turned off.

CAUTION
The turn signal light may overlap with the side-
of-vehicle line. This is not a malfunction.
Infrared illumination:
The images on the front-side view can be dis-
played at night using the infrared illumination
on the outside mirror.
Rear-wide view

entire screen and allows the checking of the
blind corners on the right and left sides. The
rear-wide view displays an approximately 180-
degree area while the front view and the rear-
view display an approximately 150-degree area.
The predictive course lines are not displayed on
the rear-wide view.

Several types of braking systems are available.
Surge Brakes -The surge brake actuator is
mounted on the trailer tongue with a hydraulic
line running to each trailer wheel. Surge brakes
are activated by the trailer pushing against the
hitch ball when the tow vehicle is braking.
Hydraulic surge brakes are common on rental
trailers and some boat trailers. In this type of
system, there is no hydraulic or electric connec-
tion for brake operation between the tow ve-
hicle and the trailer.
Electric Trailer Brakes - Electric braking systems
are activated by an electronic signal sent from a
trailer brake controller (special brake sensing
module).
Have a professional supplier of towing equip-
ment make sure the trailer brakes are properly
installed and demonstrate proper brake func-
tion testing.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system directly to
the vehicle brake system.
Pre-towing tips
● Be certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded or unloaded trailer is
hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it has an
abnormal nose-up or nose-down condition;
check for improper tongue load, overload,
worn suspension or other possible causes of
either condition.
● Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
● Keep the cargo load as low as possible in the
trailer to keep the trailer center of gravity
low.
● Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the
trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in
the back half. Also make sure the load is
balanced side to side.
● Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, ve-
hicle tire pressure, trailer light operation,
and trailer wheel lug nuts every time you
attach a trailer to the vehicle.
● Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not,
install any mirrors required for towing before
driving the vehicle.
● Determine the overall height of the vehicle
and trailer so the required clearance is
known.
Trailer towing tips
In order to gain skill and an understanding of
the vehicle’s behavior, you should practice turn-
ing, stopping and backing up in an area which
is free from traffic. Steering stability, and brak-
ing performance will be somewhat different
than under normal driving conditions.
● Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
● Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin or
lock to prevent the coupler from inadver-
tently becoming unlatched.
● Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
● Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
● Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. Some states or provinces have spe-
cific speed limits for vehicles that are towing
trailers. Obey the local speed limits.
● When backing up, hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand. Move your
hand in the direction in which you want the
trailer to go. Make small corrections and
back up slowly. If possible, have someone
guide you when you are backing up.
