not actually be aligned on the ground.
▼Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the follow ing conditions that may cause
a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the
actual distance.

When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle
When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, t he object displayed on the
screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual dist ance.

Three-dimensional ob ject on vehicle rear
Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a flat surface, the distance to the
three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is different f rom the actual distance.

When reversing near a three-dimensional object
When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if the
anticipated course line does not c ontact the object on the screen. The position of the object
displayed on the screen is different from the actual position b ecause the anticipated course
lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road surface. When backing up near
an overhanging object, confirm the rear and surrounding conditi ons directly with your eyes.

▼Obstruction Detection Indication
The position of a sensor which has
detected an obstruction is indicated. The
gauge illuminates in different areas
depending on the distance to an
obstruction detected by the sensor.
As the vehicle approaches closer to an
obstruction, the zone in the gauge closer to
the vehicle illuminates.
