Vehicle width guide lines5
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
6
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the R (Re-
verse) position and the steering wheel is turned.
The predicted 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 position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of the
predicted course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations on
the ground are for approximate reference only.
Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or project-
ing objects will be actually located at distances
different from those displayed in the monitor rela-
tive to the guidelines (refer to illustrations) . When
in doubt, turn around and view the objects as you
are backing up, or park and exit the vehicle to
view the positioning of objects behind the ve-
hicle.
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.
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.
Note that any object on the hill is closer than it
appears on the monitor.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
RearView Monitor. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show ev-
ery object.
● Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
● Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite compared to
when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.
LHA3522
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-7

●Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road conditions and road
grade.
● Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
● Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.
● When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. 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 camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and do not
represent a system malfunction: ● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. ●
When strong light directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark environment.
● There may be a delay when switching be-
tween views.
● If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the cam-
era, RearView Monitor may not display ob-
jects clearly. Clean the camera.
● Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off
any wax with a clean cloth dampened with a
diluted mild cleaning agent, then wipe with a
dry cloth.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.
● Do not damage the camera as the moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera
1, the RearView Monitor may not display ob-
jects clearly. Clean the camera by wiping it with a
cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wiping it with a dry cloth.

WARNING
●Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could
result in serious injury or death.
● The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience feature and 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 areas where objects do
not always appear in the bird’s-eye,
front, or rear views. Always check your
surroundings to be sure that it is safe to
move before operating the vehicle. Al-
ways operate the vehicle slowly.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera. The Around View® Monitor system is designed
as an aid to the driver in situations such as slot
parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the position
of the vehicle in a split screen format. Not all
views are available at all times.
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 views of the vehicle from
above.
● Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel. To display the multiple views, the Around View®
Monitor system uses cameras located in the front
grille, on the vehicle’s outside mirrors and one
just above the vehicle’s license plate
1.

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 apparent dis-
tance viewed on the monitor may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed
objects.
● 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, cargo, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condition
and road grade. ●
If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted 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.
● Objects in the rear view will appear vi-
sually opposite compared to when
viewed in the monitor and outside
mirrors.
● Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
● The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width
and course.
● The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle. Front and rear view
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate ve-
hicle width and distance to objects with refer-
ence to the vehicle body line
Aare displayed on
the monitor.
