●The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on
the monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual dis-
tance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle when the shift
lever is shifted into the R (Reverse) position or
when the CAMERA button (if so equipped) is
pressed. The radio can still be heard while the
RearView Monitor is active. To display the rear view, the RearView Monitor
system uses a camera located just above the
vehicle’s license plate

WARNING
● If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
● If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If
this occurs, please perform the follow-
ing procedures:
– Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the engine is running.
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
● When the steering wheel is turned with
the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.

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.
AROUND VIEW® MONITOR
SYSTEM OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ON position, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position or press
the CAMERA button to operate the Around
View® Monitor.
When the camera is first activated with the bird’s-
eye view in the display, a red icon (if so equipped)
will flash on the screen. This indicates that the
sonar system is activated. For additional informa-

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
R (Reverse) position to operate the Around
View® Monitor.
The Around View® Monitor displays different
split screen views depending on the position of
the shift lever. Press the CAMERA button to
switch between the available views.
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.

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for rear objects when
the shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the center
display, the system shows the sonar indicator
regardless of the shift lever position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the dis-
tance guide lines in the front and rear views
indicate different distances to the object.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow
and the rate of the blinking and the rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no longer
near the vehicle.
TURNING ON AND OFF THE
SONAR FUNCTION
When the Sonar key is selected, the indicatorB
will turn off and the sonar will be turned off
temporarily. The Moving Object Detection
(MOD) system will also be turned off at the same
time. For additional information, refer to “Moving
Object Detection (MOD) in this section. When
the Sonar key is selected again, the indicator will
turn on and the sonar will turn back on.
In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:● When the shift lever is placed in the “R”
(Reverse) position. ●
When the CAMERA button is pressed and a
screen other than the camera view is shown
on the display.
● When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● When the ignition switch is placed in the
“OFF” position and turned back to the “ON”
position again. To prevent the sonar system
from activating altogether, use the “Camera”
menu. For additional information, refer to
“Sonar function settings” in this section.
