qViewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are displayed on the screen as
a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the
parking space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.
b
a
a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
Guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines
These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (red) and 1 meter (yellow)
from the rear bumper (at the center point of each of the lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's
turning of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's
rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.
qRear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending on the
traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confirm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes
and steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images (mirror
images).
1. Shift the shift lever to R to switch the display to the rear view monitor display.

the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the
left and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to
the left and right sides of the parking space.

NOTE
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated below, and the
actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the rear of the vehicle and the
surrounding area directly with your eyes.
lIn the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed below, even though the back end and
distance guide lines appear parallel in the monitor, they may not actually be parallel on the
ground.
lWhen parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, the division
line and the vehicle width guide line may appear parallel on the monitor, but they may not
actually be parallel on the ground.

qVariance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following conditions that may
cause a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than
the actual distance.
