AROUND VIEW® MONITOR
SYSTEM OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ON position,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) posi-
tion or press the CAMERA
button to
operate the Around View® Monitor. When
activating the Around View®Monitor, the
guide lines, the icons and the messages may
not be displayed immediately.
When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view in the display, a red icon will
flash on the screen. This indicates that the
sonar system is activated. For additional in-
formation on the front and rear sonar system
(if so equipped), refer to “Front and rear sonar
system” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.
Available views
WARNING
∙ The distance guide lines and the vehicle width lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The apparent distance viewed
on the monitor 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 affected by
the number of occupants, cargo, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condition and
road grade.
∙ If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines and
the bird’s-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.
∙ When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are further than
they appear. When driving the vehicle
down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are closer than they appear.
∙ Objects in the rear view will appear visu- ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the monitor and outside mirrors. ∙ Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
∙ On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
∙ The vehicle width and predicted course lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
∙ The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.

Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
vehicle width and distance to objects with
reference to the vehicle body line
Aare dis-
played on the monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body:
∙ Red line
1: approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
∙ Yellow line
2: approximately 3 ft (1 m) ∙ Green line
3: approximately 7 ft (2 m)
∙ Green line
4: approximately 10 ft (3 m)
(if so equipped)
Vehicle width guide lines
5:
Indicate the approximate vehicle width when
backing up. Predicted course lines
6:
Indicate the predicted course when operating
the vehicle. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the steering
wheel is turned. The predicted course lines
will move depending on how much the steer-
ing 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 de-
grees or less from the straight-ahead posi-
tion, both the right and left predicted course
lines
6are 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 predicted course to a park-
ing space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the apparent distance be-
tween objects viewed in the bird’s-eye view
may differ somewhat from the actual dis-
tance to the vehicle. The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2
are indicated in black.
The non-viewable area
2is 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 the
tire icon
3when driving the vehicle forward
or backward. Predicted course lines
4indicate the pre-
dicted course when operating the vehicle.
The predicted course lines will be displayed
on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. 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 neutral position.
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the neutral position, the two green
predicted course lines are shown in front of
the vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or more, one green predicted course
line is shown in front of the vehicle and the
other predicted course line is shown at the
side of the vehicle.
When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predicted course lines are shown at the back
of the vehicle.

WARNING
∙ Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appearfurther than the actual distance.
∙ 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 can- not be displayed.
∙ The view of the bird’s-eye view may be misaligned when the camera position
alters.
∙ A line on the ground may be misaligned 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. Front-side view
Guiding lines
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
width and the front end of the vehicle are
displayed on the monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
1shows the front
part of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
2shows the ap-
proximate vehicle width including the outside
mirrors.
The extensions
3of both the front1and
side
2lines are shown with a green dotted
line. Front-wide and rear-wide view
The front-wide and rear-wide views show a
wider area on the entire screen and allows
the checking of the blind corners on right and
left sides. The rear-wide view displays an
approximately 180-degree area while the
front-view and rear-view display an approxi-
mately 150-degree area. The predicted
course lines are not displayed when using the
front-wide and rear-wide view.

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.
