●If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the cam-
era, the RearView Monitor may not display
object clearly. Clean the camera.
● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolor-
ation. 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 damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

Available views:● Front View
An approximately 150–degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
● Rear View
An approximately 150–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
● Bird’s-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle from

● Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.
There are some areas where the system will not
show objects and the system does not warn of
moving objects. When in the front or rear view
display, an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed
1. When in thebird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
3of
the camera viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor
2.
WARNING
● The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience 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 par-
ticular, are blind spots where objects do
not appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or
rear views. Always look out the win-
dows and check with your own eyes to
be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
● Do not use the Around View® Monitor
with the outside mirrors in the stored
position, and make sure that the liftgate
is securely closed when operating 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 on the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything
on the cameras.
● When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, 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 camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
AVAILABLE VIEWS
WARNING
● The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width lines should be used as a refer-
ence only when the vehicle is on a
paved, level surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor may be different
than the actual distance between the
vehicle and displayed objects.
● The distance between objects viewed in
the rearview differs from actual dis-
tance because a wide-angle lens is
used.
● Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-
eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road condition and
road grade.
● If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly. ●
When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
● Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
● Objects in the rear view will appear vi-
sually 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 lines 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.
● The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width
and course.
4-14Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width
and distance to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
A, are displayed on the moni-
tor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body:
● Red line
1: approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
● Yellow line
2: approximately 3 ft (1 m)
● Green line
3: approximately 7 ft (2 m)
● Green line

Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predictive course lines
6:
Indicate the predictive course when operating
the vehicle. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the steering
wheel is turned. The predictive course lines will
move depending on how much the steering
wheel is turned and will not be displayed while
the steering wheel is in the straight ahead posi-
tion. The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or less from the straight ahead posi-
tion, both the right and left predictive
course lines
6are displayed. When the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the oppo-
site side of the turn.

Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle po-
sition and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the distance between objects
viewed in the bird’s-eye view may differ some-
what from the actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are
indicated in black.
The non-viewable area
2is highlighted in yellow
for several seconds after the bird’s-eye view is displayed. It will be shown only the first time after
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
The driver can check the direction and angle of
the tire on the display by the tire icon
3when
driving the vehicle forward or backward.
Predictive course lines (
4and5) indicate the
predictive course when operating the vehicle.
The predictive course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the steering wheel is turned.
The predictive course lines will move depending
on how much the steering wheel is turned and
will not be displayed while the steering wheel is in
the neutral position.
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, the two green predic-
tive course lines
4are shown in front of the
vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, one green predictive course line is
shown in front of the vehicle and the other green
predictive course line
5is shown at the side of
the vehicle.
When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predictive course lines are shown at the back of
the vehicle.
WARNING
● Objects in the bird’s-eye view will ap-
pear further than the actual distance
because the bird’s-eye view is a pseudo
view that is processed by combining the
views from the cameras on the outside
mirrors, the front and the rear of the
vehicle.
● Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
● Objects that are above the camera can-
not be displayed.
● The view of the bird’s-eye view may be
misaligned 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.
● Tire angle display does not indicate the
actual tire angle.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTIVE AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
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.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on

the hill is the placeB. Note that any object on
the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.
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 farther than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on the hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor.

OPERATING TIPS
● When the shift lever is shifted to the R (Re-
verse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
● When the view is switched, the display im-
ages on the screen may be displayed with
some delay.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. 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 Moni-
tor 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.
