WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for the proper use of the
Around View
®Monitor system could
result in serious injury or death.
. The Around View
®Monitor is a
convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where
objects cannot be viewed. The four
corners of the vehicle in particular,
are areas where objects do not al-
ways appear in the bird’s-eye, front,
or rear views. Always check your
surroundings to be sure that it is safe
to move before operating the vehicle.
Always operate the vehicle slowly.
Always look out the windows and
check mirrors to be sure that it is safe
to move.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.

AROUND VIEW®MONITOR (if so
equipped)

Available views
WARNING
.The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used as
a reference only when the vehicle is
on a paved, level surface. The dis-
tance 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 lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
farther than they appear. When driv-
ing the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear.
. Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite compared to when viewed in the rear view 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 lines 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 rearview camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.

Predictive course lines (and) indicate the
predictive course when operating the vehi-
cle. The predictive course lines (
and) will
be displayed on the monitor when the
steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines (
and) will move depending
on how much the steering wheel is turned.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther 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.

is shown farther than the
positionin the display. However, the
positionis actually at the same distance

object when backing up to the positionif
the object projects over the actual backing up course.
How to park with predictive course
lines
WARNING
.
If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines 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.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, 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.

TEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for Around View®Monitor. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
. Do not use the Around View
®Moni-
tor with the outside mirrors in the
stored position, and make sure that
the trunk lid is securely closed when
operating the vehicle using the
Around View
®Monitor.
. The apparent distance between ob-
jects viewed on the Around View
®
Monitor differs from the actual dis-
tance.
. The cameras are installed on the
front grille, the outside mirrors and
above the rear license plate. Do not
put anything on the vehicle that
covers the cameras.
. When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray
it around the cameras. Otherwise,
water may enter the camera unit causing water condensation on the
lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric
shock.
. Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
WAE0220X
There are some areas where the system will
not show objects and the system does not
warn of moving objects. When in the front or
rear view display, an object below the
bumper or on the ground may not be viewed
. When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object
near the seamof the camera viewing
areas will not appear in the monitor.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the sonar
function as outlined in this section could
result in serious injury or death.
.The sonar is a convenience feature. It
is not a substitute for proper parking.
. This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
. Always look around and check that it
is safe to move before parking.
. Read and understand the limitations
of the sonar as contained in this
section.
The sonar function helps to inform the driver
of large stationary objects around the
vehicle when parking by issuing an audible
and visual alert.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR FUNCTION
(for models with Around View®Monitor)

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect
the function of the system, including
reduced performance or a false acti-
vation.
. The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain. — Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone may be
altered causing inaccurate measure-
ment of objects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Parking sonar settings menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system may
be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar (located on
the front and rear bumper fascia) free
from accumulations of snow, ice and dirt.
Do not scratch the surface of the sonar
when cleaning. If the sensors are cov-
ered, the accuracy of the sonar function
will be diminished.
