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.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body:
● Red line
1: approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
● Yellow line
2: approximately 3 ft (1 m)
● Green line
3: approximately 7 ft (2 m)
● Green line
4: approximately 10 ft (3 m)

Vehicle width guide lines5:
Indicate the approximate vehicle width when
backing up.
Predicted course lines
6:
Indicate the predicted course when operating the
vehicle. The predicted course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move de-
pending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the steer-
ing 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 de-
grees or less from the straight-ahead posi-
tion, both the right and left predicted
course lines
6are displayed. When the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the oppo-
site side of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle po-
sition and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the apparent distance between
objects viewed in 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 area2is 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 the tire icon
3when driving the vehicle forward or backward.
WARNING
● Objects in the bird’s-eye view will ap-
pear further than the actual distance.
● 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 can-
not be displayed.
● The view of the bird’s-eye view may be
misaligned when the camera position
alters.
● A line on the ground may be misaligned
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. Front-side view
Guiding lines
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate width
and the front end of the vehicle are displayed on
the monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
1shows the front part
of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
2shows the approxi-
mate vehicle width including the outside mirrors.
The extensions
3of both the front1and side
2lines are shown with a green dotted line.
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.

HOW TO SWITCH THE DISPLAY
With the ignition switch in the ON position, press
the CAMERA button or move the shift lever to the

If the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position, the
available views are:
● Rear view/bird’s-eye view split screen
● Rear view/front-side view split screen
If the shift lever is in the P (Park) position, the
available views are: ● Front view/bird’s-eye view split screen
● Front view/front-side view split screen If the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position, the
only available view is front view/front-side view
split screen.
The display will switch from the Around View®
Monitor screen when:
● The shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and
the vehicle speed increases above approxi-
mately 6 mph (10 km/h)
● A different screen is selected.

● The cameras are installed on the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything
on the vehicle that covers the cameras.
● When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water

●Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
There are some areas where the system will not
show objects and the system does not warn of
moving objects. When in the front or rear view
display, an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed
1. When in the
bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
2of
the camera viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor.
The following are operating limitations and do not
represent a system malfunction:
● There may be a delay when switching be-
tween views.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
● When strong light directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
● The colors of objects on the Around View®
Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects. ●
Objects on the Around View® Monitor may
not be clear and the color of the object may
differ in a dark environment.
● There may be differences in sharpness be-
tween each camera view of the bird’s-eye
view.
● Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off
any wax with a clean cloth that has been
dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.
System temporarily unavailable
When the “!” icon is displayed on the screen,
