360°View Monitor Range
: Cameras
: Ultrasonic sensors
: Radar sensors (rear)
WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area around the vehicle with the mirrors and directly with
your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device which assists the driver in checking the safety of
the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and detection range of the sensors are limited. For
example, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where
each of the camera images merge are blind spots where an obstruction may not be visible. In
addition, the extended vehicle width lines and pr ojected vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the scree n may differ from the actual conditions.

NOTE
The parking sensor obstruction detection indication does not display. Switch the screen
display to the top view/front view or side view display if the parking sensor warning sound
is activated.
The front wide view screen displays the image in front of the vehicle at a wide angle and
corrects the image to help detect approaching obstructions from the side. Therefore, it
differs from the actual view.

CAUTION
The front of the vehicle swings out wide wh en turning the steering wheel while reversing.
Maintain sufficient distance betwee n the vehicle and an obstruction.
 The parking sensor detection range has limita tions. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle vi sually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-248.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen, such as
indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always check the
safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
Even though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen and
distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, even
though the division line and the vehicle widt h guide line appear parallel, they may not
actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned to the
left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from the opposite
direction, the steering operation is reversed.
