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.

To display the rear view, the RearView
Monitor system uses a cameralocated
just above the vehicle’s license plate.

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.

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

WARNING
.The distance guide lines and the
vehicle width guide 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 dis-
played 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 num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehi-
cle position, road condition and
road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with
different sized tires, the predic-
tive course lines and the bird’s-
eye view may be displayed incor-
rectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are farther 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 ap-
pear visually opposite compared
to when viewed in the rearview
and outside mirrors.
. Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
. The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view differs
from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
. On a snow-covered or slippery
road, there may be a difference
between the predictive course
line and the actual course line.
. The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.

Bird’s-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle which helps confirm
the vehicle position and the predictive
course to a parking space.
The vehicle icon
shows the position of
the vehicle. Note that the distance be-
tween objects viewed in the bird’s-eye
view differs from the actual distance.
The areas between the camera views
(if
so equipped) are indicated in black.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the non-viewable area
(if
so equipped) is highlighted in yellow for a
few seconds after the bird’s-eye view is
displayed.
The amber markersare displayed when
the sonar is turned off or the sonar is not
available at the corner.
The predictive course lines
indicate the
predicted course when operating the
vehicle.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther 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 cam-
era cannot be displayed.
. The view for 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 in-
crease as the line proceeds away
from the vehicle.
