the driver when backing up. When
backing up, be sure to visually check
all around the vehicle both directly

another vehicle, and could possibly
cause an accident.

guide lines displayed on the screen
may differ from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
Be sure to back up slowly, depressing
the brake pedal to control vehicle
speed.
If you seem likely to hit nearby vehi-
cles, obstacles, people or mount the
shoulder, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle, then disable the

INFORMATION
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly de-
tect an obstacle. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed be-

In addition to the examples above,
there are instances in which, because
of their shapes, signs and other
objects may be judged by a sensor to
be closer than they are.
