To adjust the image on the rear view
monitor system screen. (→P. 3 2 8 )
• The area displayed on the screen
may vary according to vehicle orien-
tation conditions.
• Objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the
bumper cannot be seen on the
screen.
• The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the image that appears
on the screen differs from the actual
distance.

the camera may not be displayed by
the monitor.

●Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud etc.) is adhering to
the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a large
quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.
■Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not actually 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 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 fixed guide
lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.
●When 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 actually are. In the
same way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines and
the actual distance/course on the
road.

●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will appear
to be further from the vehicle than
the actual distance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be closer than
they actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error
between the guidelines and the
actual distance/course on the road.
●When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle sags
due to the number of passengers or
the distribution of the load, there is a
margin of error between the fixed
guide lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the road.

■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced objects (such
as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using the distance guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck),
be careful of the following.
●Distance guidelines
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. On the
screen, it appears that a truck is
parked at point . However, in real-
ity if you back up to point , you will
hit the truck. On the screen, it
appears that is closest and is
furthest away. However, in reality, the
distance to and is the same,
and is farther than and .

■Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In the case
shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the vehicle width guide lines
and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the truck. However, the rear body of
the truck may actually cross over the vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.
