*1: Objects located in the shaded areas will not be displayed on the screen.
*2: Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be displayed on the screen.
AREA DISPLAYED ON SCREEN
AREA OF IMAGE OF PANORAMIC VIEW
The panoramic view monitor displays an image of the surrounding view of the ve-
hicle.
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road sur-
faces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle
bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if there
is room between the bumpers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the
image, in reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.
Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

INFORMATION
● As the images obtained from four cam-
eras are processed and displayed on
the standard of a flat road surface; the
panoramic view/moving view/see-
through view may be displayed as fol-
lows.
• Objects may look collapsed; thinner or
bigger than usual.
• An object with a higher position than the road surface may look farther away
than it actually is or may not appear at
all.
• Tall objects may appear protruding from the non-displayed areas of the
image.
● Variations in the brightness of the image
may appear for every camera.
● The displayed image may be shifted by
inclination of the vehicle body, change in
vehicle height, etc., depending on the
number of passengers, amount of lug-
gage, fuel quantity, etc.
● If the front doors or back door are not
completely closed; neither the image nor
the guide lines are displayed.
● The position relations of the vehicle icon
and the road surface or obstacle may
differ from the actual positions.
● The black areas of the vicinity of the
vehicle icon are areas that are not cap-
tured by the camera.
● Images like the following are combined,
thus some areas may be difficult to view.
WA R N I N G
●When the intuitive parking assist display
is red or the buzzer continuously
sounds, be sure to check directly and do
not proceed any further. An unexpected
accident may occur, such as a vehicle
collision.

INFORMATION
● Black masking is done for distance
detection differences to the front of the
vehicle.
● The area covered by the camera is lim-
ited. Objects which are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper cannot be seen on the screen.
● The area displayed on the screen may
vary depending on vehicle orientation or
road conditions.
● The camera uses a special lens. The
distance in the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual dis-
tance.
THE CAMERA
The cameras for the panoramic view
monitor are located as shown in the il-
lustration.

DISTORTION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS ON THE
SCREEN
When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) nearby
in positions higher than the surface of the road, take extra care when using the fol-
lowing.
PANORAMIC VIEW DISPLAY (INCLUDING MAGNIFIED DISPLAY)
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road sur-
faces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle
bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if there
is room between the bumpers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the
image, in reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.

● When the intuitive parking assist display is red or the buzzer continuously sounds, be
sure to check directly and do not proceed any further. An unexpected accident may
occur, such as a vehicle collision.

Estimated course line
WHEN APPROACHING
THREE-DIMENSIONAL
OBJECTS
The estimated course lines target flat
surfaced objects (such as the road). It
is not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such
as vehicles) using the estimated
course lines and distance guide lines.
When approaching a three-dimension-
al object that extends outward (such as
the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the
following.

●When the intuitive parking assist display
is red or the buzzer continuously
sounds, be sure to check directly and do

ESTIMATED COURSE LINES
Since the estimated course line is dis-
played for a flat road surface, it can not
depict the position of three-dimension-
al objects (such as vehicle bumpers,
etc.) that are in positions higher than
the surface of the road. Even if the
bumpers of the vehicle is on the out-
side of the estimated course line in the
image, in reality, the vehicles are on a
collision course.

DISTANCE GUIDE LINES
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. On the
screen, it appears that a truck is park-
ing at point B. However, in reality if you
back up to point A, you will hit the truck.
On the screen, it appears that A is clos-
est and C is farthest away. However, in
reality, the distance to A and C is the
same, and B is farther than A and C.

MAGNIFYING FUNCTION
When the panoramic view is magni-
fied, walls and lines on the road on the
magnified panoramic view display may
look more distorted than those on the
normal panoramic view display.
INFORMATION
● When the panoramic view is magnified,
guide lines will not be displayed.
