REARVIEW MONITOR (if so
equipped)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RearView
Monitor system could result in serious
injury or death.. The RearView Monitor is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows, and check mirrors to
be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always back up
slowly.
. The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in showing large stationary
objects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a refer-
ence only when the vehicle is on a level
paved 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.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
camera.
When the shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the upper touch screen
display (upper display) shows the view to the
rear of the vehicle.
The radio can still be heard while the Rear-
View Monitor is active.
To display the rear view, the RearView
Monitor system uses a cameralocated
just above the vehicle’s license plate.
REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the “ON” position,
move the shift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position to operate the RearView Monitor.
HOW TO READ DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines that indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to
the bumper line
are displayed on the
monitor.

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.
7-4
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
. The vehicle may hit the
object when backing up to the positionif

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.

.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:

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

the first time after the ignition switch is
placed in the “ON” position.
The driver can check the approximate direc-
tion and angle of the tire on the display by
tire icon
when driving the vehicle forward
or backward.
Predictive course lines (
and) indicate
the predictive course when operating 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
neutral position.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear further than the actual dis-
tance.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera posi- tion alters.
. A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned 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.
. Tire angle display does not indicate
the actual tire angle
