●The screen illustrations used in
this text are intended as exam-
ples, and may differ from the
image that is actually displayed on

ing up. When backing up, be
sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and
using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may
hit another vehicle, and could
possibly cause an accident.

displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle with
fixed guide lines on the
screen while backing up, for
example while parking.
Driving precautions

●Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. The image and the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may differ
from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly,
depressing the brake pedal to
control vehicle speed.
●The instructions given are only
guide lines. When and how
much to turn the steering wheel
will vary according to traffic con-
ditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc.
when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before
using the rear view monitor sys-
tem.
●When parking, be sure to check
that the parking space will
accommodate your vehicle
before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the rear view moni-
tor system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow
• When using tire chains or emer-
gency tires

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.

■When any part of the vehi-
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.
A margin of errorWhen there are three-dimen-
sional objects (such as vehicle
bumpers, etc.) nearby in posi-
tions higher than the surface of
the road, take extra care when
using the following.
Since the panoramic view pro-
cess and display images based
on flat road surfaces, it cannot
depict the position of three-
dimension objects (such as
vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are
in positions higher than the sur-
face of the road. For example,
even though it appears that
there is space between the
bumpers of the two vehicles in
the illustration below and they
are not likely to collide, in reality,
a collision is about to occur.

dimensional objects

●When a sensor indicator on the
intuitive parking assist display
illuminates in red or a buzzer
sounds continuously, be sure to
check the area around the vehi-
cle immediately and do not pro-
ceed any further until safety has
been ensured, otherwise an
unexpected accident may occur.
