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) Vehicle width guide lines

Predicted course lines
5
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. 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 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.
