a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the v\
ehicle.
b) Distance guide lines.
These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured \
from the vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
 The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for t\
he red line and 100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the ce\
nter point of each
of the lines).

g space on the left
and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide line\
s are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.

NOTE
  If the parking space has division lines, straighten the wheels when the \
vehicle width guide
lines are parallel to them.
  Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated below,
