9-2Monitor system
GUID-9889CA9D-8797-4DA7-B771-207B147B4B33When the shift lever is shifted into the "R"
(Reverse) position, the center display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The system will not detect
small objects below the bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
WARNING
.The RearView Monitor is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing up. Always turn and
check that it is safe to do so before
backing up. Always back up slowly.
. 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 like
ones viewed in the inside and out-
side mirrors.
. Make sure that the rear hatch is
securely closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView Monitor because of its monitoring range
limitation.
. Do not put anything on the camera.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, 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 malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

Difference between predictive and

GUID-0B788328-52CC-4C74-8090-06C1E7654880The 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 from the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects. Backing up on a steep uphill:LNL0002X
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1 m) to the
place
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1 m) distance on
the hill is to the place
*B. Note that any object
on the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill:
LNL0003X
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown further than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1 m) to the
place

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTIVE
COURSE LINES
GUID-98CEE8C3-518C-4157-97AF-634616A645F5
WARNING
. Always turn and check that it is safe
to park your car before backing up.
Always back up slowly.
. Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, vehicle
position, road condition and road
grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent 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.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predictive
course lines may not be displayed
correctly. If this occurs, perform the
following procedures.
— Turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock while the READY
to drive indicator light is ON.
Condition: NAM/

Black plate (217,1)
[ Edit: 2013/ 10/ 7 Model: Navi-EV ]
— Drive the vehicle on a straightroad for more than 5 minutes.
. When the steering wheel is turned
with the power switch in the ACC
position, the predictive course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
. 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.
. 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 dis-
tances to other objects. The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

Operating tipsGUID-4C323C9D-72F4-4F74-99E8-7794B687A670.When the shift lever is shifted to the "R"
(Reverse) position, the center display auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode.
. It may take some time until the RearView
Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has
been shifted to "R" from another position or
to another position from "R". Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the RearView
Monitor screen is displayed completely.
. When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from those of
the actual object. .
Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a
malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not clearly dis-
play objects. Clean the camera.
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
. Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent diluted with
water.

When you push theCAMERAbutton or shift
the shift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position
while the power switch is in the ON position, the
Around View Monitor operates. The monitor
displays various views of the position of the
vehicle.
Available views:
. Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
. Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
. Front View
The view to the front of the vehicle.
. Rear View
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.
LNL0037X
There are some areas where the system will not
detect objects. When in the front or the rear
view display, an object below the bumper or on
the ground may not be detected
*1. When in
the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam of
the camera detecting areas will not appear in the
monitor
*2.
WARNING
. The Around View Monitor is a con-
venience but it is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it
has areas where objects cannot be
viewed. The four corners of the
vehicle in particular, are blind spots
where objects do not appear in the
bird’s-eye, front, or rear views. Al-
ways look out the windows and
check with your own eyes to be sure
that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always oper-
ate the vehicle slowly.
. Do not use the Around View Monitor
with the outside mirror in the stored
position, and make sure that the lift
gate is securely closed when oper-
ating 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.
