Guiding lines
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width and
distances to objects with reference to the vehicle
body line
jA , are displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
•Red linej1 : approx. 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
•Yellow linej2 : approx.1m(3ft)
•Green linej3 : approx.2m(7ft)
•Green linej4 : approx. 3 m (10 ft)
Vehicle width guide lines and static predictive
course lines
j5:
Indicate the vehicle width when reversing.
Dynamic predictive course lines
j6:
The dynamic predictive course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The course lines will move depending onhow much the steering wheel is turned and will not
be displayed while the steering wheel is in the
straight ahead position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above approximately 30 km/h (20 MPH).
WARNING
•Objects in the monitor will appear visually op-
posite 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 ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle.
NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
j6 are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
WARNING
•Objects in the bird-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because thebird-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the
rear of the vehicle.
•Tall objects, such as a kerb or a vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam of
the views.
•Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
•The view for the bird-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
•A line on the ground may be misaligned and is
not seen as being straight at the seam of the
views. The misalignment will increase as the
line proceeds away from the vehicle.
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle position and
the predicted course to a parking space.

•The MOD system might detect flowing water
droplets on the camera lens, white smoke
from the exhaust, moving shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function properly
depending on the speed, direction, distance
or shape of the moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts
where the camera is installed, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone may be al-
tered and the MOD system may not detect
objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
Camera maintenance
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera, the
MOD system may not operate properly. Clean the
camera.
