DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTIVE
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES
Backing up on a steep uphill
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 the place
*B. Note that any object on
the hill is viewed in the monitor further than it
appears.
SAA2020
Backing up on a steep downhill
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
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1 m) distance on
the hill is the place
*B. Note that any object on the hill is viewed in the monitor closer than it
appears.

SAA2021
Backing up near a projecting object
The predictive course lines*A(if so equipped)
do not touch the object in the display. However,
the vehicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual backing up course.
SAA2022
Backing up behind a projecting object
The position*Cis shown further than the
position
*Bin the display. However, the
position
*Cis actually at the same distance
as the position
*A. The vehicle may hit the
object when backing up to the position
*Aif

OPERATING TIPS
.When the shift lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
. When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
. When strong light is directly coming on the
camera, 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 the actual
color of objects. This is not a malfunction.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark environment. This is not a malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display objects clearly. 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 the CAMERA button on the
center multi-function control panel or shift the
shift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position while
the ignition 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-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

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’s-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 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. .
When washing the vehicle with
highpressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the cameras. 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 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
objects.
. 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 occu-
pants, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent 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 objects.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.

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 front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
WARNING
. The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view may differ
from the actual distance. Objects in
the rear view will appear visually
opposite from those viewed in the
inside 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 rear view camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
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 pre-
dictive course lines
