.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:

Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
vehicle width and distances to objects with
reference to the vehicle body line
, 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
(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 operat-
ing the vehicle. The predictive course lines
will be displayed on the monitor when 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 straight ahead position.
The front view will not be displayed when
the vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or less from the straight ahead
position, both the right and left predictive
course lines
are displayed. When the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the
opposite side of the turn. Bird’s-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle, which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predictive course to
a parking space.
The vehicle icon
shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon
on the bird’s-eye view may differ somewhat
from the actual distance to the vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
are indicated in black.
The non-viewable area
is highlighted in
yellow for several seconds after the bird’s-
eye view is displayed. It will be shown only

Sonar indicator
SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for front objects
when the shift lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position and both front and rear objects
when the shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse)
position.
When the camera image is shown on the
center display, the system shows the sonarindicator regardless of the shift lever posi-
tion.
The system is deactivated at speeds above 6
MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front and rear
views (or front-wide and rear-wide views, if
so equipped) indicate different distances to
the object.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehiclemoves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the rate of the tone increase.
When the vehicle is very close to the object,
the indicator stops blinking and turns red,
and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3
seconds when an object is detected by only
the corner sonar and the distance does not
change.
The tone will stop when the object is no
longer near the vehicle.
TURNING ON AND OFF THE SO-
NAR FUNCTION
When the Sonar·MOD keyis touched, the
indicator light on the keywill turn off and
the sonar will turn off temporarily. The
7-20
Moving Object Detection (MOD) system will
also be turned off at the same time.
“Moving Object Detection (MOD)”
(page 7-23)
When the Sonar·MOD key is touched again,
the indicator light will illuminate and the
sonar will turn back on.
In the cases below, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically: . When the shift lever is in the “R”
(Reverse) position.
. When
screen other than the camera view is
shown on the display.
. When the vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in the
“OFF” position and turned back to the
“ON” position again.
When the Sonar·MOD key is touched, the
MOD function will also be turned off.
When sonar system is completely turned off
from the setting menu, “
” will disappear
from the the Sonar·MOD key. The key will
disappear from the screen when both of the
systems are completely turned off from the
setting menu. To prevent the sonar system from activating
altogether, change the status in the camera
settings menu.
