●Using the vehicle width lines
The relative distance of obstacles from the vehicle width lines can be con-
firmed.
Example 1: When there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle
Operate the steering wheel so that the vehicle width line and
the obstacle do not overlap.
Example 2: When parking on the shoulder Approach the shoulder, but do not allow the vehicle width
line to overlap the curb or other obstacles.
After confirming the distance to the shoulder of the road,
maneuvering the vehicle so that the vehicle width line and
the curb or other obstacle are parallel allows the vehicle to
be parked evenly.

• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
• When the camera is used under fluorescen t lights, sodium light or mercury light
etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
