The distance guide lines and
the vehicle width guide lines
may not actually be parallel
with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.
 The distances between the
vehicle width guide lines and
the left and right dividing lines
of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.
 The distance guide lines give
a distance guide for flat road
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes up
sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.Differences between the

sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be farther from the
vehicle than the actual distance.

cle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of the
load, there is a margin of error
between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.

The estimated course lines tar-
get flat surfaced objects (such
as the road). It is not possible to
determine the position of
three-dimensional objects (such
as vehicles) using the estimated
course lines and distance guide
lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that
extends outward (such as the
flatbed of a truck), be careful of
the following.
■Estimated course lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown below, the
truck appears to be outside of
the estimated course lines and
the vehicle does not look as if it
hits the truck. However, the rear
body of the truck may actually
cross over the estimated course
lines. In reality if you back up as
guided by the estimated course
lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.

7-2.Panoramic view monitor
*: If equipped
●The screen illustrations used in
this text are intended as exam-
ples, and may differ from the
image that is actually displayed on
the screen.
The panoramic view monitor is a
supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when checking
around the vehicle. When using,
be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding. If you do not, you
may hit another vehicle or possi-
bly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following
precautions when using the
panoramic view monitor.
Panoramic view moni-
tor*
Panoramic view monitor
assists the driver in viewing
the surroundings, when
operating at low speeds, by
combining the front, side
and rear cameras and dis-
playing a complete vehicle
overhead image on the
screen.
When you press the camera
switch or shift the shift lever
to the “R” position while the
engine switch switch> is in IGNITION ON
mode , the pan-
oramic view monitor oper-
ates.
The monitor displays vari-
ous views of the position
and surroundings of the
vehicle.
Driving precautions
WA R N I N G
●Never depend on the panoramic
view monitor entirely. The
image and the position of the
guide lines displayed on the
screen may differ from the
actual state. Use caution just as
you would when driving any
other vehicle.
●Always make sure to check all
around the vehicle with your
own eyes when driving.
●Never drive while looking only at
the screen as the image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. If you are driving
while looking only at the screen,
you may hit a person or an
object, resulting in an accident.
When driving, be sure to check
the vehicle’s surroundings with
your own eyes and the vehicle’s
mirrors.

WA R N I N G
●Depending on the circum-
stances of the vehicle (number
of passengers, amount of lug-
gage, etc.), the position of the
guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to
check visually around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
●Do not use the panoramic view
monitor system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the front door or the trunk is not close d completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or
slopes
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other
than specified are installed
●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could
distort when the vehicle is mov-
ing, or you may become unable
to see the image on the screen.
Be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may
change.
●The camera uses a special lens.
The distances between objects
and pedestrians that appear in
the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual
distances. (
P.224)
NOTICE
●In panoramic view/moving
view/see-through view, the sys-
tem combines images taken
from the front, back, left and
right side cameras into a single
image. There are limits to the
range and content that can be
displayed. Familiarize yourself
with the characteristics of the
panoramic view monitor system
before using it.
●Image clarity may decline at the
four corners of t he panoramic
view/moving view/see-through
view. However, this is not a mal-
function, as these are the
regions along the border of
each camera image where the
images are combined.
●Depending on lighting condi-
tions near each of the cameras,
bright and dark patches may
appear on the panoramic
view/moving view/see-through
view.
●The panoramic view/moving
view/see-through view display
does not extend higher than the
installation pos ition and image
capture range o f each camera.
●There are blind spots around
the vehicle. Accordingly, there
are regions not displayed in
panoramic view/moving
view/see-through view.
●Three-dimensional objects dis-
played in wide front view or rear
view may not be displayed in
panoramic view/moving
view/see-through view.
