Park Assist Camera (PAC) * guiding
lines and fields
The Park Assist Camera system uses guiding and lines and fields to indicate the vehicle'sposition in relation to its immediate surround-ings.
Guiding lines
Sample guidelines
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were a path on the ground around the vehicleand are directly affected by the way in which thesteering wheel is turned. This enables the driverto see path the vehicle will take, even if he/sheturns the steering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (door mirrors, corners of the body, atrailer hitch, etc.) extends out from the vehicle,even when it turns.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the guiding lines show the path that the vehicle will take,
not the trailer.
WARNING
Keep in mind that when the rear camera has been selected, the image on the screen onlyshows the area behind the vehicle. The drivermust always watch for people, animals, othervehicles, etc., near the sides or the front of thevehicle when turning while backing up. The opposite is true when the front camera is selected. Please note that the guiding lines show the shortest path. Be sure that the vehicle
