■Panoramic view
●In the panoramic view, the system combines images taken from the front, back, left
and right side cameras into a single image.
There are limits to the range and content
that can be displayed. Understand the char acteristics of this system before using.
●Image clarity may decline at the four corners of the panoramic view. However, this is
not a malfunction, as these are the regions along the border of each camera image
where the images are combined.
●Depending on lighting conditions near each of the cameras, bright and dark patches
may appear on the panoramic view.
●The panoramic view display does not extend higher than the installation position and
image capture range of each camera.
●There are blind spots around the vehicle and there are regions that are not displayed
in the panoramic view.
●Three-dimensional objects disp layed in wide front view or rear view may not be dis-
played in the panoramic view.
●People and other three-dime nsional obstacles may appear differently when dis-
played in the panoramic view. (These differences include, among others, cases in
which displayed objects appear to have fa llen over, disappear near image processing
areas, appear from image proc essing areas, or when the actual distance to an object
differs from the displayed position.)
●The panoramic view will not be properly displayed when either front door or the back
door is open.
●The vehicle icon displayed in the panoramic view is a computer generated image, and
properties such as the color, shape and size will differ from the actual vehicle. There-
fore, nearby three-dimensional objects may appear to be touching the vehicle, and
actual distances to three-dimensional ob jects may differ from those displayed.

■Panoramic view display range
●In the panoramic view, the system processe
s and displays images acquired form the 4
cameras under the assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the
display may appear as follows.
• Three-dimensional objects may appear to have fallen over, and be long and thin or bigger than they actually are
• Three-dimensional obje cts at a point higher than the surface of the road may appear
further away than they actually are, or may not appear
• Tall objects may appear to emerge from the image processing seams
●Inconsistencies in th e brightness of images from each camera may occur depending on
lighting conditions.
●The displayed image may not be aligned when the tilt or height of the vehicle changed
due to the number of passengers, cargo we ight or remaining quantity of gasoline.
●The displayed image may not be aligned when the vehicle is in other than “N” (normal)
height mode. (P. 335)
●Images and guide lines may not be properly displayed when the doors are not com-
pletely closed.
●The relative distances between the vehicle ic on and road surface or an obstacle dis-
played in the panoramic view may differ from the actual state.
●If an illuminated license plate is used, it may appear on the screen.
●The black area around the vehicle icon is an area that is not appear in the camera.
Check these areas directly.
■Wide front view display range
●Certain areas at the front of the vehicle ha ve a different sense of distance, and are
masked in black so that they do not appear on the screen.
●There are limits to the range displayed on the screen. Objects at either corner of the
bumper or directly below the bumper are not displayed.
●The perceived distance in images displayed on the screen differs from the actual dis-
tance.
■Images displayed on the screen
Cameras of the Multi-terrain Monitor system use special lenses. The distance of the
image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance.
●The circled areas shown in the illustration may
be difficult to see, as these are points where
images are combined.
