3. After your vehicle b egins entering the parking space, continue backing up slowly so that
the distance between the vehicle w idth lines and the sides of the parking space on the

5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slowly into the
parking space. Continue checkin g the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in
the best possible position. (If the parking space has division lines, check whether the
vehicle width guide lines are parallel to them.)

NOTE
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated below,
and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the rear of the vehicle
and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back end and
distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not actually be
aligned on the ground.

When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, the
division line and the vehicle width guide line appear aligned in the monitor, but they may
not actually be aligned on the ground.
▼ Variance Between Actual Road C
onditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the follow ing conditions that may cause
a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the
actual distance.

2. Variance
When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle
When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, t he object displayed on the
screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual dist ance.

When reversing near a three-dimensional object
When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if the
anticipated course line does not c ontact the object on the screen. The position of the object
displayed on the screen is different from the actual position b ecause the anticipated course
lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road surface. When backing up near
an overhanging object, confirm the rear and surrounding conditi ons directly with your eyes.
