▼Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the wid

reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking spa ce or garage.
b
a
a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines. These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
•The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in ) for the red line and
100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow l ines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each
of the lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the
steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding
area directly with your eyes while backing up.
▼ Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehic
le varies depending on the
traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering a nd the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so conf irm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear vie w monitor.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).

and distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not
actually be aligned on the ground.
