•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 par-
ticular, are areas where objects do not
always appear in the bird’s-eye, front,
or rear views. Always check your sur-
roundings 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 lens when cleaning dirt
or snow from the front of the camera.
The Around View® Monitor system is de-
signed 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.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 view 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 cameras1lo-
cated in the front grille, on the vehicle’s out-
side mirrors and one just above the vehicle’s
rear number plate.

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 distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and 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, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road condition and road
grade.
•When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are farther
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
•Objects in the monitor will appear visu-
ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
•The distance between objects viewed in
the rear view differs from actual dis-
tance because a wide-angle lens is used.
•The displayed lines on the rear view will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.

turns about 90 degrees or more, a line is dis-
played only on the opposite side of the turn.Bird's-eye view:
WARNING
•Objects in the bird's-eye view will ap-
pear farther than the actual distance.
•Tall objects, such as a curb or a 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 for 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.

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 position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.

•The cameras are installed on the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything
on the cameras.
•When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
•Do not strike the cameras. They are pre-
cision instruments. Doing so could cause
a malfunction or cause damage resulting
in a fire or an electric shock.
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 is 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 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 clean-
ing agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.
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 the rear

•The system will not operate at speeds be-
low approximately 40 MPH (60 km/h) or
if it cannot detect lane markers.
•The LDW system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways or
highways. It may not detect the lane
markers in certain roads, weather or
driving conditions.
•Do not use the LDW system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
–During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
–When driving on slippery roads, such
as on ice or snow, etc.
–When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
–When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
–When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary lane.
–When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
–When driving without normal tire
conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels).–When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
•The camera may not detect lane markers
in the following situations and the LDW
system may not operate properly.
–On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; or lane mark-
ers covered with water, dirt, snow,
etc.
–On roads where the discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
–On roads where there are sharp
curves.
–On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams
or lines remaining after road repairs.
(The LDW system could detect these
items as lane markers.)
–On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
–When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
marker.–When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
–When rain, snow or dirt adheres to
the windshield in front of the lane
camera unit.
–When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming
is not adjusted properly.
–When strong light enters the lane
camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the ve-
hicle at sunrise or sunset.)
–When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or under
a bridge.)
–When there is poor visibility. (For ex-
ample, due to insufficient illumina-
tion of the road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or spray.
–When there is glare. (For example,
from oncoming traffic, the sun or re-
flection when the road is wet).
