Differences between the scr
een and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the div iding lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the lef t
and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.

●When the ground behind the ve hicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.
● When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of
the load, there is a margin of
error between the fixed guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When approaching thre e-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfac ed
objects (such as the road). It i s not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the dis-
tance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object
that extends outward (such as t he flatbed of a truck), be careful of
the following.

●Distance guidelines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehi-
cle. On the screen, it appears
that a truck is parked at point . However, in reality if you
back up to point , you will hit
the truck. On the screen, it
appears that is closest and is furthest away. However,
in reality, the distance to
and is the same, and is
farther than and .
■Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the ve hi-
cle width guide lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hi ts the
truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over
the vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you back up as gui ded by
the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.
