PERIPHERAL MONITORING SYSTEM
The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width extension guide lines may not actu-
ally be parallel with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when they appear to
be so. Be sure to check visually.
 The distances between the vehicle width
extension guide lines and the left and right
dividing lines of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they appear to be
so. Be sure to check visually.
 The distance guide lines give a distance
guide for flat road surfaces. In any of the
following situations, there is a margin of
error between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance /course on
the road.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE SCREEN AND THE
ACTUAL ROADWHEN THE GROUND BEHIND
THE VEHICLE SLOPES UP
SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear to
be closer to the vehicle than the actual
distance. Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than they ac-
tually are. In the same way, there will
be a margin of error between the
guidelines and the actual distance/
course on the road.
