REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The system cannot completely elimi-nate blind spots and may not show
every object. ∙ Underneath the bumper and the cor-
ner areas of the bumper cannot be
viewed on the RearView Monitor be-
cause of its monitoring range limita-
tion. The system will not show small
objects below the bumper, and may
not show objects close to the bumper
or on the ground.
∙ Objects viewed in the RearView Moni- tor differ from actual distance be-
cause a wide-angle lens is used.
∙ Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear visually opposite compared to
when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.
∙ Use the displayed lines as a reference. The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road conditions and
road grade.
∙ Make sure that the lif tgate is securely closed when backing up.
∙ Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.

the Intelligent Around View Monitor, the
icons and the messages may not be dis-
played immediately.
When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view in the display, a red icon (if so
equipped) will flash on the screen. This in-
dicates that the sonar system is activated.
For additional information on the rear so-
nar system, refer to “Rear Sonar System
(RSS)” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual.
The screen displayed on the Intelligent
Around View Monitor will automatically re-
turn to the previous screen 3 minutes af ter
the CAMERA or CAMERA
button has
been pressed with the shif t lever in a posi-
tion other than the R (Reverse) position.
Available views
WARNING
∙ The distance guide lines and the ve- hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
paved, level surface. The apparent
distance viewed on the monitor 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,
cargo, fuel level, vehicle position, road
condition and road grade.
∙ If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
∙ When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob- jects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When driving
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 monitor and outside
mirrors.
∙ Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other
objects.
∙ On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between
the predicted course lines and the ac-
tual course line. ∙ The vehicle width and predicted
course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.
∙ The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the
rearview camera is not installed in the
rear center of the vehicle.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions 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. Itis 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 au-
dible and visual alert. 1. Center display

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for rear objects
when the shif t lever is in the “R” (Reverse)
position.
LHA4817
CAMERA AIDING SONAR (parking
sensor) (if so equipped)
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-23

When the camera image is shown on the
center display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shif t lever posi-
tion.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front and rear
views indicate different distances to the
object.
When the objects are detected, the indica-
tor (green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the rate of the tone increase.
When the vehicle is very close to the object,
the indicator stops blinking and turns red,
and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop af ter 3 sec-
onds when an object is detected by only
the corner sonar and the distance does
not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no
longer near the vehicle.
TURNING ON AND OFF THE SONAR
FUNCTION
When the “Sonar” key is selected, the indi-
cator will turn off and the sonar will be
turned off temporarily. The Moving Object
Detection (MOD) system will also be turned
off at the same time. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Moving Object Detection
(MOD) in this section. When the “Sonar” key
is selected again, the indicator will turn on
and the sonar will turn back on.In the below cases, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically:
∙ When the shif t lever is placed in the “R” (Reverse) position.
∙ When the CAMERA or CAMERA
button is pressed and a screen other
than the camera view is shown on the
display.
∙ When vehicle speed decreases below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

camera view is automatically shown on the
display in the case that the distance to the
objects measured by the sonar is becom-
ing short.
SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous 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
activation.
∙ The system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects. ∙ The system will not detect small ob-
jects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
∙ The system may not detect the fol- lowing objects:
– Fluff y 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 al-
tered 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.
