3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjustingthe steering wheel so that the pre-
dictive course lines
enter the park-
ing space.
4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
parallel
to the parking spacewhile referring
to the predictive course lines. 5. When the vehicle is parked in the
space completely, move the shift lever
to the P (Park) position (Automatic
Transmission models) or in an appro-
priate gear (Manual Transmission
models) and apply the parking brake.
Difference between predictive and
actual distances
The displayed guide lines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or down-
hill surfaces or projecting objects will be
actually located at distances different
from those displayed in the monitor
relative to the guide lines (refer to illustra-
tions). 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 vehicle.
JVH1355X
Backing up on a steep uphill:
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the
actual distance. Note that any object on
the hill is further than it appears on the
monitor.

SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE
Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-
of dialect users to train the system to
improve recognition accuracy. By repeat-
ing a number of commands, the users

a different language.”
5. Push the
button.
For information on selecting a differ-
ent language, see “Choosing a lan-
guage” (P.4-90).
6. If the connected phone is already in use, the system will prompt you to
overwrite. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are ready to begin, push the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the instructions provided by the sys-
tem. 9. When training is finished, the system
