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 be-
tween the vehicle and displayed 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 predicted course line 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 ob-
jects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

Rearview

Front and rearview
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with re-
ference 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 operat-
ing 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
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the rearview will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in
the rearview and outside 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 lines are displayed
incorrectly, drive the vehicle on a
straight road for 110 yd (100 m) at a
speed of above 20 MPH (30 km/h).
. The displayed lines on the rearview will
appear 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 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
*3appears.
WARNING
.
Objects in the bird-eye view will appear
further than the actual distance because
the bird-eye view is a pseudo view that
is processed 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
misaligned 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.

Front-side view
Guiding lines:
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 front*1and 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. See “Around view monitor
settings” (P.4-41).
CAUTION
The turn signal light may overlap with the
side-of-vehicle line. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
Infrared illumination:
The images on the front-side view can be
displayed at night using the infrared
illumination on the outside mirror.SAA2629
Rear-wide view
The rear-wide view shows a wider area on
the 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 rearview display an
approximately 150-degree area. The pre-
dicted course lines are not displayed on
the rear-wide view.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide line on the front and the
rearview should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level, paved
surface. The distance viewed on the moni-
tor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance between
the vehicle and displayed objects.

Moving to a steep uphill
When moving 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 m) to the place
*A, but the
actual 3 ft (1 m) distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that any object on the hill is
viewed in the monitor further than it
appears.
SAA1979
Moving to a steep downhill
When moving the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown further than the
actual distance. For example, the display
shows 3 ft (1 m) to the place
*A, but the
actual 3 ft (1 m) distance on the hill is the

place*B. Note that any object on the hill is
viewed in the monitor closer than it
appears.

CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR
FUNCTION
When the corner of the vehicle moves
closer to the object while the Around View
Monitor is displayed, an indicator is
displayed and a tone is sounded by the
corner sonar function to warn the driver.
The color of the corner sonar indicator and
the pattern of the tone vary according to
the distance to the object.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the volume of the tone
increase. When the corner of the vehicle
is very close to the object, the indicator
stops blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.
Keep the corner sonars (located on the
front and rear bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the corner sonar function will
be diminished.
WARNING
.The corner sonar function is not de-
signed to prevent the object.
. The colors of the corner sonar indicator
and the distance guide lines in the front/
rearview indicate different distances to
the object.
. Inclement weather may affect the func-
tion of the corner sonar system; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on
the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the tone clearly.

OPERATING TIPS
.
The screen displayed on the Around
View Monitor will automatically return
to the previous screen 3 minutes after
the CAMERA button has been pushed
while the shift lever is in a position
other than the R (Reverse) position.
. The display of images on the screen
may be delayed after screens are
switched. Objects in the Around View
Monitor may be distorted momentarily until the Around View Monitor screen is
displayed completely.
. When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not display
objects clearly. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When strong light directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under fluores-
cent light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the Around
View Monitor may differ somewhat
from those of the actual object.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear
and the color of the object may differ in
a dark location or at night. This is not a
malfunction.
. There may be differences in clearness
between each camera view of the bird-
eye view.
. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the
camera, the Around View Monitor may
not display objects clearly. Clean the
camera.
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
