•The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
• The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level paved
surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when clean-
ing dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle in the upper
touch-screen display (upper display) when
the shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse)
position. When activating the RearView
Monitor, the guide lines, the icons and the
messages may not be displayed immediately.
The radio can still be heard while the Rear-
View Monitor is active. To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located just above
the vehicle’s license plate
O1.
REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION
With the engine running, move the shift lever
to the R (Reverse) position to operate the
RearView Monitor. When activating the
RearView Monitor, the guide lines, the icons
and the messages may not be displayed
immediately.
HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to
the vehicle body line
OAare displayed on the
monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.

Predicted course lines
O5
Indicate the predicted course when backing
up. The predicted course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the shift lever is
in the R (Reverse) position and the steering
wheel is turned. The predicted course lines
will move depending on how much the steer-
ing wheel is turned and will not be displayed
while the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of
the predicted course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in
the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or
park and exit the vehicle to view the position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the upper display.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the upper display.

When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view in the display, a red icon will
flash on the upper display. This indicates that
the sonar system is activated. For additional

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.

while the steering wheel is in the straight-

vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or less from the straight-ahead posi-
tion, both the right and left predicted course
lines

wheel turns about 90 degrees or more, a line
is displayed only on the opposite side of the
turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird's-eye view shows the overhead view
of the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a park-
ing space.
The vehicle icon
O1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the apparent distance be-
tween objects viewed in the bird's-eye view
may differ somewhat from the actual dis-
tance to the vehicle.

HOW TO SWITCH THE DISPLAY
With the ignition switch in the ON position,
press theCAMERA button or with the
engine running, move the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) position to operate the Around
View® Monitor.
The Around View® Monitor displays differ-
ent split screen views depending on the posi-
tion of the shift lever. When activating the
Around View® Monitor, the guide lines, the
icons and the messages may not be displayed
immediately. Press the
CAMERA but-
ton or touch the “Change View” key to switch
between the available views.
If the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position,

• Rear-wide view If the shift lever is in the P (Park) or D (Drive)
position, the available views are:
• Front view/bird’s-eye view split screen
• Front view/front-side view split screen
• Front-wide view
The display will switch from the Around

• The shift lever is in the D (Drive) position
and the vehicle speed increases above ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
• A different screen is selected.
