ing the vehicle. Always back up
slowly.
. The system is designed as an aid
to the driver in showing large
stationary objects directly behind
the vehicle, to help avoid dama-
ging 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 sur-
face. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual
distance between the vehicle and
displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front
of the camera.
The RearView Monitor system automati-
cally shows a rear view of the vehicle
when the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position.
The radio can still be heard while the
RearView Monitor is active.
WAE0335X
To display the rear view, the RearView
Monitor system uses a cameralocated
just above the vehicle’s license plate.

ERATION

(Reverse) position to operate the Rear-
View Monitor.

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with
reference to the bumper line
are
displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
. Red line
: approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
: approximately 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
: approximately 7 ft (2 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing
up.

Predictive course lines:
Indicate the predictive course when back-
ing up. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and if
the steering wheel is turned. The predic-
tive course lines will move depending on
how much the steering wheel is turned
and will not be displayed while the steer-
ing wheel is in the straight ahead position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the
width of the predictive course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTIVE
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES
The displayed guide lines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or down-
hill surfaces or projecting objects will be
actually located at distances different
from those displayed in the monitor
relative to the guide lines (refer to illustra-
tions). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or
park and exit the vehicle to view the
positioning of objects behind the vehicle.
WAE0286X
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 farther than it appears on the
monitor.
WAE0287X
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
monitor.

WAE0288X
Backing up near a projecting object
The predictive course linesdo not
touch the object in the display. However,
the vehicle may hit the object if it projects
over the actual backing up course.
JVH1216X
Backing up behind a projecting
object
The positionis shown farther than the
positionin the display. However, the
positionis actually at the same dis-
tance as the position. The vehicle may
hit the object when backing up to the position
if the object projects over the
actual backing up course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTIVE
COURSE LINES
WARNING
. If the tires are replaced with
different sized tires, the predic-
tive course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery
road, there may be a difference
between the predictive course
line and the actual course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predic-
tive course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly. If this occurs,
please perform the following pro-
cedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock while the engine is
running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
. When the steering wheel is
turned with the ignition switch in
the ON position, the predictive
course lines may be displayed

1. Visually check that the parking spaceis safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle is dis- played on the screen
when the shift
lever is moved to the R (Reverse)
position.

3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the steering wheel so that the pre-
dictive course lines
enter the park-
ing space.
4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
parallel
to the parking spacewhile referring
to the predictive course lines.

5. When the vehicle is parked in thespace completely, place the shift posi-
tion to the P (Park) position and apply
the parking brake.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM LIM-
ITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for RearView Monitor. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. The system cannot completely
eliminate blind spots and may
not show every object.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper can-
not be viewed on the RearView
Monitor because of its monitoring
range limitation. The system will
not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show ob-
jects close to the bumper or on
the ground.

.Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual dis-
tance because a wide-angle lens
is used.
. Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite
compared to when viewed in the
rearview and outside mirrors.
. Use the displayed lines as a re-
ference. The lines are highly af-
fected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle po-
sition, road conditions and road
grade.
. Make sure that the liftgate is
securely closed when backing up.
. Do not put anything on the rear-
view camera. The rearview cam-
era is installed above the license
plate.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not
to spray it around the camera.
Otherwise, water may enter the
camera unit causing water con-
densation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise,
it may malfunction or cause da-
mage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations
and do not represent a system malfunc-
tion:
. When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects.
. When strong light directly shines on
the camera, objects may not be dis-
played clearly.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects
on the screen. This is due to strong
reflected light from the bumper.
. The screen may flicker under fluores-
cent light.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from
the actual color of objects.
. Objects on the monitor may not be
clear in a dark environment.
. There may be a delay when switching
between views.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on
the camera, the RearView Monitor
may not display objects clearly. Clean
the camera.
. Do not use wax on the camera lens.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with a diluted mild clean-
ing agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

and instructions for the proper
use of the Intelligent Around View® Monitor system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
. The Intelligent Around View®
Monitor is a convenience feature
and is not a substitute for proper

surroundings to be sure that it is
safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always operate the
vehicle slowly.
. The driver is always responsible

To display the multiple views, the Intelli-
gent Around View® Monitor system uses
cameras
located on the front grille, on
the vehicle’s outside mirrors and one just
above the vehicle’s rear license plate.
