WHEN THE GROUND
BEHIND THE VEHICLE
SLOPES UP SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear
to be closer to the vehicle than the ac-
tual distance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error be-
tween the guidelines and the actual
distance/course on the road.WHEN THE GROUND

WHEN ANY PART OF THE
VEHICLE SAGS
When any part of the vehicle sags
due to the number of passengers or
the distribution of the load, there is a
margin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
WHEN APPROACHING
THREE-DIMENSIONAL
OBJECTS
The estimated course lines target a
flat surfaced objects (such as the
road). It is not possible to determine
the position of three-dimensional ob-
jects (such as vehicles) using the es-
timated course lines and distance
guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that ex-
tends outward (such as the flatbed of
a truck), be careful of the following.
A margin of error
ESTIMATED COURSE LINES
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. In the
case shown below, the truck appears
to be outside of the estimated course
lines and the vehicle does not look as
if it hits the truck. However, the rear
body of the truck may actually cross
over the estimated course lines. In re-
ality if you back up as guided by the
estimated course lines, the vehicle
may hit the truck.

DISTANCE GUIDE LINES
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. On the
screen, it appears that a truck is park-
ing at point B. However, in reality if
you back up to point A, you will hit
the truck. On the screen, it appears
that A is closest and C is furthest
away. However, in reality, the dis-
tance to A and C is the same, and B
is farther than A and C.
