1747-1. Rear view monitor system
7-1.Rear view monitor system
*: If equipped
●The screen illustrations used in
this text are intended as exam-
ples, and may differ from the
image that is actually displayed on
the screen.
The rear view monitor system is
a supplemental device intended
to assist the driver when back-
ing up. When backing up, be
sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and
using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may
hit another vehicle, and could
possibly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following
precautions when using the rear
view monitor system.
Rear view monitor sys-
tem
*
The rear view monitor sys-
tem assists the driver by
displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle with
fixed guide lines on the
screen while backing up, for
example while parking.
Driving precautions
WARNING
●Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. The image and the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may differ
from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly,
depressing the brake pedal to
control vehicle speed.
●The instructions given are only
guide lines. When and how
much to turn the steering wheel
will vary according to traffic con-
ditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc.
when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware o f this before
using the rear view monitor sys-
tem.
●When parking, be sure to check
that the parking space will
accommodate your vehicle
before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the rear view moni-
tor system in t he following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the tailgate is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or
slopes

Peripheral monitoring system
WARNING
●Depending on the circum-
stances of the vehicle (number
of passengers, amount of lug-
gage, etc.), the position of the
guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to
check visually around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
●Do not use the panoramic view
monitor system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the front door or tailgate is not close d completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or
slopes
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other
than specified are installed
●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could
distort when the vehicle is mov-
ing, or you may become unable
to see the image on the screen.
Be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may
change.
●The camera uses a special lens.
The distances between objects
and pedestrians that appear in
the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual
distances. ( P.202)
NOTICE
●In 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. Familiarize yourself
with the characteristics of the
panoramic view monitor system
before using it.
●Image clarity may decline at the
four corners of t he panoramic
view. However, this is not a mal-
function, as these are the
regions along the border of
each camera image where the
images are combined.
●Depending on lighting condi-
tions 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 pos ition and image
capture range o f each camera.
●There are blind spots around
the vehicle. Accordingly, there
are regions not displayed in
panoramic view.
●Three-dimensional objects dis-
played in side view, wide front
view or rear view may not be
displayed in panoramic view.
●People and other three-dimen-
sional obstacles may appear
differently when displayed on
the panoramic view monitor.
(These differences include,
among others, cases in which
displayed objects appear to
have fallen over, disappear near
image processing areas, appear
from image processing areas,
or when the actual distance to
an object differs from the dis-
played position.)

1987-2. Panoramic view monitor
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on
flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension
objects (such as vehicle bumpers , etc.) that are in positions higher
than the surface of the road. Even if there is room between the bum-
pers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the image, in
reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.
Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

NOTICE
●When the tailgate, which is
equipped with the back camera,
or front doors, which are
equipped with door mirrors that
have built-in side cameras, are
open, images will not be dis-
played properly on the pan-
oramic view monitor.
●The vehicle icon displayed in
panoramic view is a computer
generated image. Accordingly,
properties such as the color,
shape and size will differ from
the actual vehicle. For this rea-
son, nearby three-dimensional
objects may appear to be touch-
ing the vehicle, and actual dis-
tances to three-dimensional
objects may diffe r from those
displayed.

The area not displayed on the screen
• Objects located in the shaded areas will not be displayed on t he screen.
The parts of objects not displayed on the screen
• Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be displayed
on the screen.
●As the images obtained from four
cameras are processed and dis-
played on the standard of a flat
road surface; the panoramic view
may be displayed as follows.
• Objects may look collapsed; thin- ner or bigger than usual.
• An object with a higher position
than the road surface may look
farther away than i t actually is or
may not appear at all.
• Tall objects may appear protruding from the non-displayed areas of
the image.
●Variations in the brightness of the
image may appear for every cam-
era.
●The displayed image may be
shifted by inclination of the vehicle
body, change in vehicle height,
etc., depending on the number of
passengers, amou nt of luggage,
fuel quantity, etc.
●If the front doors or tailgate are not
completely closed; neither the
image nor the guide lines are dis-
played.
●The position relations of the vehi-
cle icon and the road surface or
obstacle may differ from the actual
positions.
●The black areas of the vicinity of
the vehicle icon are areas that are
not captured by the camera.
●Images like the fo llowing are com-
bined, thus some areas may be
difficult to view.
