Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.. Red line
: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
(if so equipped): approx. 10
ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
:
Indicates the approximate vehicle width.
Predictive course lines
:
Indicate the predictive course when backing
up. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position and the
steering-wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering-wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering-wheel is
in the neutral position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width
of the predictive course lines are wider than
the actual width and course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDIC-
TIVE COURSE LINES
WARNING
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course line
may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear
center of the vehicle.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines
are wider than the actual width and course.
1. Visually check that the parking space is safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle
is
displayed as illustrated when the shift
lever is shifted to the “R” (Reverse)
position.

3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting thesteering-wheel so that the predictive
course lines
enter the parking 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 and apply the parking
brake.
Difference between predictive 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 positioning of objects behind the
vehicle. 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
farther than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up on a steep downhill:
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the monitor.Backing up near a projecting object:The predictive course linesdo not touch
the object in the display. However, the
vehicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual backing up course. Backing up behind a projecting object:The positionis shown farther than the
positionin the display. However, the
positionis actually at the same distance
as the position

ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
The RearView Monitor settings can be
changed with the following procedure.
1. Push

resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction: . When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.
. When strong light is directly coming on
the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on
the screen. This is due to strong reflected
light from the bumper.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear
in a dark environment.
. There may be a delay when switching to
the RearView Monitor.
. When activating the RearView Monitor,
the guide lines, the icons and the mes-
sages may not be displayed for a while. .
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display object clearly. Clean the camera.
. Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent diluted
with water.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
.Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent and then
wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera
, RearView Monitor may not dis-

AROUND VIEW® MONITOR (if
so equipped)
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 con-
venience feature and is not a sub- stitute 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. Always operate
the vehicle slowly. Always look outthe windows and check mirrors to be
sure that it is safe to move.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other man-
euvers.
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: . Bird’s-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
. Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
. Front View
An approximately 150-degree view of
7-8
Page 111 of 288

the front of the vehicle.
. Front-Wide View
An approximately 180-degree view of
the front of the vehicle.
. Rear View
An approximately 150-degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.
. Rear-Wide View (if so equipped)
An approximately 180-degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.
To display the multiple views, the Around
View® Monitor system uses cameras
located in the front grill, on the vehicle’s outside mirrors and one just above the
vehicle’s license plate.
Guiding lines that indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to
the vehicle body lines
are displayed on the
monitor. Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
. Red line
: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line

AROUND VIEW® MONITOR SYS-
TEM OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the “ON” position,
move the shift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position or push to operate the
Around View® Monitor.

WARNING
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a refer-
ence 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 between the vehicle
and displayed objects.

7. Monitor system
.Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-
eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly af-
fected by the number of occupants,
fuel level, vehicle position, road con-
dition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course line
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
further than they appear. When driv-
ing the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear.
. Objects in the field of view of the rear
view or rear wide view (if so equipped)
will appear visually opposite com-
pared to when viewed in the rear view
or rear wide view (if so equipped) and
outside mirrors.
. Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
. The distance between objects viewed
in the rear view differs from actual
distance because a wide-angle lens is used.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.
. 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. Front and rearview:
