WARNING
∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in-structions for proper use of the RearView
Monitor system could result in serious in-
jury or death.
∙ RearView Monitor is a convenience fea- ture and 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 ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
∙ The distance guide line and the vehicle width line should be used as a reference
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 be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when clean-
ing dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle when the
shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse) posi-
tion. When activating the RearView Monitor,
the guide lines, the icons and the messages
may not be displayed immediately. The radio
can still be heard while the RearView Monitor
is active.
To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located just above
the vehicle’s license plate

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to
the vehicle body line
Aare displayed on the
monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
∙ Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
∙ Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m) ∙ Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
∙ Green line
4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
(if so equipped)
Vehicle width guide lines
5
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
6
Indicate the predicted course when backing
up. The predicted course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the shift lever is
in the R (Reverse) position and the steering
wheel is turned. When activating the Rear-
View Monitor, the guide lines, the icons and
the messages may not be displayed immedi-
ately. The predicted 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 posi-
tion.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of
the predicted course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED 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 position-
ing 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
further 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 predicted course linesAdo not touch
the object in the display. However, the vehicle
may hit the object if it projects over the actual
backing up course.

HOW TO PARK WITH
PREDICTED COURSE LINES
WARNING
∙ If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly.
∙ On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
∙ If the battery is disconnected or becomes discharged, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly. If this oc-
curs, please perform the following
procedures:
– Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the engine is running.
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
∙ When the steering wheel is turned with the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly. 1. Visually check that the parking space is
safe before parking your vehicle.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
RearView Monitor. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The system cannot completely eliminateblind spots and may not show every
object. ∙ Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
∙ Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
∙ Objects in the RearView Monitor will ap- pear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.
∙ Use the displayed lines as a reference. The lines are highly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road conditions and road grade.
∙ Make sure that the liftgate is securely closed when backing up.
∙ Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is installed
above the license plate.

∙ When washing the vehicle with highpressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
∙ Do not strike the camera. It is a precision instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion or cause damage 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 directly shines 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 between views.
∙ If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera, the RearView Monitor may not
display objects clearly. Clean the camera.
∙ Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.

WARNING
∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in-structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
∙ The Around View® Monitor is a conve- nience feature and is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in particu-
lar, are areas where objects do not al-
ways appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or
rear views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always op-
erate the vehicle slowly.
∙ The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when clean-
ing 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.
Not all views are available at all times.
Available views:
∙ Front View An approximately 150–degree view of
the front of the vehicle.
∙ Rear View An approximately 150–degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.
∙ Bird’s-Eye View The surrounding views of the vehicle
from above.
∙ Front-Side View The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
∙ Front-Wide View An approximately 180–degree view of
the front the vehicle.
∙ Rear-Wide View 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 grille, on the vehicle’s outside
mirrors and one just above the vehicle’s li-
cense plate
