CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt
or snow from the front of the camera.

The color of the view on the Around View
Monitor display is different from the actual

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.

SAA1896
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.
SAA1842
Front-side view
Guiding lines:
Guiding lines that indicate the width and
the front end of the vehicle are displayed

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

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.
Distance guide lines:
Indicates distances from the vehicle body.
.Red line

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.

Moving near a projecting object
The predicted course lines*Ado not touch
the object in the display. However, the
vehicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual moving course.
