WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the vehicle
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 affected 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 displayed
incorrectly. •
When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further 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 visu-
ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the monitor and outside mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
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.
Front and rear view
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
vehicle width and distance to objects with
reference to the vehicle body line
OAare dis-
played on the monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body:
• Red line
O1: approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
• Yellow line
O2: approximately 3 ft (1 m)
• Green line
O3: approximately 7 ft (2 m)
• Green line
O4: approximately 10 ft (3 m)

The non-viewable areaO2is highlighted in
yellow for several seconds after the bird’s-
eye view is displayed. It will be shown only the
first time after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
In addition, the non-viewable corners are dis-
played in red and will blink for the first 3
seconds
O3to remind the drivers to be
cautious.
Predicted course lines
O4indicate the pre-
dicted course when operating the vehicle.
The predicted course lines will be displayed
on the monitor when the steering wheel is turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned.
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the neutral position, the two green
predicted course lines are shown in front of
the vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or more, one green predicted course
line is shown in front of the vehicle and the
other predicted course line is shown at the
side of the vehicle.
When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predicted course lines are shown at the back
of the vehicle.
WARNING
• Objects in the bird's-eye view will appear
further than the actual distance.
• Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
• Objects that are above the camera can-
not be displayed.
• The view of the bird's-eye view may be
misaligned when the camera position
alters. •
A line on the ground may be misaligned
and is not seen as being straight at the
seam of the views. The misalignment will
increase as the line proceeds away from
the vehicle.
