REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)
When the shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the upper touch screen
display (upper display) shows the view to
the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.
REARVIEW MONITOR OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
The distance between the vehicle and the
objects viewed on the monitor may be
different from the actual distances.
“Difference between predictive and
actual distances” (page 7-19)
WARNING!
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RearView Monitor
could result in serious injury or death.
. The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
backing. Always turn and look out the
windows, and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always back up slowly. .
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The system cannot completely eliminate
blind spots and may not detect every
object. It does not warn of moving
objects.
. Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
. Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
. Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite, similar to than
when viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. Do not put anything on the RearView
camera. The RearView camera is installed
above the license plate. .
When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.
CAUTION!
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.

HOW TO READ DISPLAYED LINES
Guiding lines that indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with re-
ference to the bumper line
*Aare dis-
played on the monitor. Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
. 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)
*5Vehicle width guide lines:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing
up.
*6Predictive course lines:
Indicate the predictive course when back-
ing up. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the
steering-wheel is turned. The predictive
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 vehicle width guide lines and the width
of the predictive course lines are wider
than the actual width and course.
WARNING!
. Always turn and check that it is safe to
park your car before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course line may
not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line.
. The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the RearView
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
. 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 ob-
jects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When backing up the

vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. Use
the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.

3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the steering-wheel so that the predic-
tive course lines
*Benter the parking
space

4. When the back of the vehicle enters the parking space
*C, maneuver the steer-
ing-wheel to make the vehicle width

AROUND VIEW MONITOR OPERA-
TION PRECAUTIONS
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.
There are some areas where the system
will not show objects. When in the front or
the rear view display, an object below the
bumper or on the ground may not be
viewed
*1. When in the bird-eye view, a
tall object near the seam of the camera
viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor
*2.
WARNING!
. The Around View Monitor is a convenient
feature but it is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
Always look out the windows and check
mirrors to be sure that it is safe to move.
The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
. Do not use the Around View Monitor with
the outside mirror in the stored position,
and make sure that the trunk lid is
securely closed when operating the
vehicle using the Around View Monitor.
. The distance between objects viewed on
the Around View Monitor differs from the
actual distance.

.The cameras are installed above the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything on
the cameras.
. When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION!
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt or
snow from the front of the camera.

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
between the vehicle and displayed ob-
jects.
. 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 predictive 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 predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
. The distance between objects viewed in
the rear view differs from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in
the rear view and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line.
. The displayed lines on the rear view will
appear slightly off to the right because
the RearView camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.Front and rearview
