the camera, wipe with a cloth dam-
pened 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. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera
*1, RearView Monitor may not display objects
clearly. Clean the camera by wiping it with a

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for the proper use of the Around View
ŠMonitor system could
result in serious injury or death.
. The Around View
ŠMonitor is a
convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion 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. Always operate the vehicle
slowly.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning
dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
The Around View
ŠMonitor 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.
All views are not available at all times.

WARNING
. The distance guide lines and the
vehicle width lines should be used
as a reference only when the vehicle
is on a paved, level surface. The
apparent distance viewed on the
monitor may be different than the
actual distance between 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, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines and the bird’s-eye view may be
displayed incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
further than they appear. When
driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear.

.Objects in the monitor will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.
. Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
. The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view differs from
actual distance because a wide-
angle lens is used.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
. The displayed lines on the rear view
will appear slightly off to the right
because the rearview camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.

SAA1896Rear view
Front and rear view:
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
vehicle width and distances to objects with
reference to the vehicle body line
*Aare
displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
. Red line
*1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
*2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
*3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
*4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
*5
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
position.
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

degrees or less from the straight ahead
position, 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
opposite side of the turn.
JVH1140X
Bird’s-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predictive course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
*1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon on
the bird’s-eye view may differ somewhat from
the actual distance to the 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 approximate direction
and angle of the tire on the display by tire icon
*3when driving the vehicle forward or back-
ward.
Predictive course lines (
*4and*5) 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
position.
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the straight-ahead position, the two
green predictive course lines
*4are shown in
front of the vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or more, one green predictive course
line
*5is shown in front of the vehicle and the
other green predictive course line
*5is shown
at side of the vehicle.
When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predictive course lines are shown at back of the
vehicle.

WARNING
.Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear further than the actual dis-
tance.
. 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
cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera
position alters.
. A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned 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.

*2lines are shown with a green dotted
line.
CAUTION
The turn signal light may look like the
side of- vehicle line. This is not a
malfunction.

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
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in the
monitor relative 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 vehicle.

JVH1214X
Backing up on a steep uphill:
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance 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.
JVH1215X
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 further than the actual distance.
Note that any object on the hill is closer than it
appears on the monitor.

Backing up near a projecting object:
The predictive course lines
*Ado not touch the
object in the display. However, the vehicle may
hit the object if it projects over the actual
backing up course.
