WARNING
.Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther than the actual dis-
tance because the bird’s-eye view is
a pseudo view that is processed by
combining the views from the cam-
eras 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
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.

of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line

Difference between predictive 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.

. Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so
could cause a malfunction or cause
damage resulting in a fire or an

. When the view is switched, the display
images on the screen may be displayed with
some delay.
. When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
. When strong light is shining directly on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. .
The colors of objects on the Around View
Š
Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear and
the color of the object may differ in a dark
environment.
. There may be differences in sharpness
between each camera view of the bird’s-
eye view.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the Around View

display objects clearly. Clean the camera.
. Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off
any wax with a clean cloth that has been
dampened with a mild detergent diluted with
water.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle
in accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle
window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
. The MOD system performance will
be limited according to environmen-
tal conditions and surrounding ob-
jects such as:
— When there is low contrast be-
tween background and the mov-
ing objects
— When there is blinking source of light.
— When strong light such as an- other vehicle’s headlight or sun-
light is present. — When there is dirt, water drops
or snow on the camera lens.
— When the position of the moving objects in the display is not
changed.
. The MOD system might detect flow-
ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to
the parts where the camera is
installed, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be
altered and the MOD system may
not detect objects properly.
. When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not
display objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.

Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-33

4-36Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
function in your vehicle radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other
vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the
device in a different location may reduce or
eliminate the noise.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
station) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to the
distance between the transmitter and receiver.
FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting
many of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
