the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown farther than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place

Backing up near a projecting object
The predicted course linesAdo not touch the
object in the display. However, the vehicle may hit
the object if it projects over the actual backing up
course.
Backing up behind a projecting object
The positionCis shown farther than the position

HOW TO SWITCH THE DISPLAY
With the ignition switch in the ON position, press
the CAMERA button or move the shift selector to
the R (Reverse) position to operate the Around
View Monitor.
The Around View Monitor can display two split
view as well as a single view of the front-wide
view or rear-wide view. Select the “Change View”
key to switch between the available views.
If the shift selector is not in the R (Reverse)
position, the available views are:● Front-view/bird-eye view split screen
● Front-view/front-side view split screen ●
Front-wide view
If the shift selector is in the R (Reverse) position,
the available views are: ● Rearview/bird-eye view split screen
● Rearview/front-side view split screen
● Rear-wide view
When the shift selector is in the D (Drive) position
and the screen does not display the Around View
Monitor and the sonar detection distance is be-
coming short, the screen displays the front-
view/bird-eye view. In that case, when the SW
1
is selected or when the sonar does not detect any
objects, the monitor will display the previous
screen.
When the shift selector is not in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed increases above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), the screen
changes from the Around View Monitor screen to
the previous screen.
CAMERA AIDING SONAR (parking
sensor) (rear center sonar if so
equipped)
The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
WARNING
● The sonar (parking sensor) is a conve-
nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper parking.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
LHA2319LHA2320
4-44Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

●Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
● Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar (parking sensor) as contained
in this section.
● The colors of the sonar indicators and
the distance guide lines in the front,
front-wide, rear and rear-wide views in-
dicate different distances to the object.
● Inclement weather or Ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car wash,
a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the 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 is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
● The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
● The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects: – Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, glass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects.
● 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-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
●Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
● Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar sensors when
cleaning. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the sonar function will be
diminished. The system gives the tone for front objects when
the shift selector is in the D (Drive) position and
both front and rear objects when the shift selec-
tor is in the R (Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the display,
the system shows the sonar indicator regardless
of the shift selector position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
When the objects are 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 rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after three seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object gets away
from the vehicle.

When the switch1is selected, the indicator2
will turn off and the sonar will be turned off
temporarily. The MOD system will also be turned
off at the same time. When the switch is selected
again, the indicator will turn on and the sonar will
turn back on.
In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:● When the shift selector is in the R (Reverse)
position.
● When the CAMERA button is pressed and a
screen other than the camera view is shown
on the display. ●
When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
● When the switch is selected, the MOD func-
tion will also be turned off.
To prevent the sonar system from activating alto-
gether, use the “Camera Settings” menu. For
more information, see “Around View™ Monitor
settings” in this section.
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION
(MOD)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of the moving objects surround-
ing the vehicle when driving out of garages, ma-
neuvering into parking lots and in other such
instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the image
shown in the display.
The MOD system operates in the following con-
ditions when the camera view is displayed: ●
When the shift selector is in the P or N
position and the vehicle is stopped, the
MOD system detects the moving objects in
the bird-eye view. The MOD system will not
operate if the outside mirror is moving in or
out or if either door is opened.
● When the shift selector is in the D position
and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system
detects moving objects in the front view or
front-wide view.
● When the shift selector is in the R position
and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system
detects moving objects in the rearview or
rear-wide view. The MOD system will not
operate if the liftgate is open.
The MOD system does not detect moving ob-
jects in the front-side view. The MOD icon is not
displayed on the screen when in this view.

WARNING
●The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with the ob-
jects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirror and rear view mirror and turn and
check the surrounding to ensure it is
safe to maneuver.
● The MOD system does not have the
function to detect the surrounding sta-
tionary objects.
