ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat

door is opened and the ignition switch is in the
LOCK position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position when the driver’s door is
closed and the ignition switch is pushed.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed. See “Comfort & Convenience settings” in
the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section of this manual.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled.

the entry/exit function using the following proce-
dure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.

● When any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive positioner
is operating.
● When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat is turned on while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.

memory switch.
● When the shift selector is moved from P
(Park) to any other position.
● When the driver’s door remains open more
than 45 seconds and the ignition switch is
not in the ON position.

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
Aare 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 backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift selector is in the R
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move de-
pending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the steer-
ing wheel is in the neutral position.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
● Always turn and check that it is safe to
do so before backing up. Always back
up slowly.
● Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road conditions and road
grade.
● If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly. ●
On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
● If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform the
following procedures:
– Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the engine is running.
– 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 predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a refer-
ence only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on
the monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual dis-
tance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.

●When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When backing up
the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed
in the monitor are closer than they ap-
pear. Use the inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder to properly judge
distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
1. Visually check that the parking space is safebefore parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
Awhen the shift selector is
moved to the R (Reverse) position. 3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the
steering wheel so that the predicted course
lines
Benter the parking spaceC.

parking space
Cwhile referring to the pre-
dicted course lines.
5. When the vehicle is parked in the space completely, move the shift selector to the P
(Park) position and apply the parking brake.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is for reference
only and may be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on the hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.
