ing.The Multi-terrain 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

precautions
When using the Multi-ter-
rain Monitor
WA R N I N G
●Never depend on the Multi-ter-
rain 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.

●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 Multi-terrain
Monitor 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 tailgate
is not closed 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.235)
NOTICE
●In panoramic view, the system
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 the panoramic
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.
●The panoramic view display
does not extend higher than the
installation position and image
capture range of each camera.
●There are blind spots around
the vehicle. Accordingly, there
are regions not displayed in
panoramic view.
●Three-dimensional objects dis-
played in side view, wide front
view or rear view may not be
displayed in panoramic view.
●People and other three-dimen-
sional obstacles may appear
differently when displayed on
the panoramic view. (These dif-
ferences include, among others,
cases in which displayed
objects appear to have fallen
over, disappear near image pro-
cessing areas, appear from
image processing areas, or
when the actual distance to an
object differs from the displayed
position.)

Peripheral monitoring system
Since the panoramic view processes and displays 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 surface of the road. Even if there is room between the bum-
pers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the image, in
reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.
Check the safety of the surroundings directly.
The area displayed on the screen
NOTICE
●When the tailgate, which is
equipped with the back camera,
or front doors, which are
equipped with door mirrors that
have built-in side cameras, are
open, images will not be dis-
played properly on the pan-
oramic view.
●The vehicle icon displayed in
panoramic view is a computer
generated image. Accordingly,
properties such as the color,
shape and size will differ from
the actual vehicle. For this rea-
son, nearby three-dimensional
objects may appear to be touch-
ing the vehicle, and actual dis-
tances to three-dimensional
objects may differ from those
displayed.

The area not displayed on the screen
• Objects located in the shaded areas will not be displayed on the screen.
The parts of objects not displayed on the screen
• Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be displayed
on the screen.
●As the images obtained from four
cameras are processed and dis-
played on the standard of a flat
road surface; the panoramic view
may be displayed as follows.
• Objects may look collapsed; thin-
ner or bigger than usual.
• An object with a higher position
than the road surface may look
farther away than it actually is or
may not appear at all.
• Tall objects may appear protruding
from the non-displayed areas of
the image.
●Variations in the brightness of the
image may appear for every cam-
era.
●The displayed image may be
shifted by inclination of the vehicle
body, change in vehicle height,
etc., depending on the number of
passengers, amount of luggage,
fuel quantity, etc.
●If the front doors or tailgate are not
completely closed; neither the
image nor the guide lines are dis-
played.
●The position relations of the vehi-
cle icon and the road surface or
obstacle may differ from the actual
positions.
●The black areas of the vicinity of
the vehicle icon are areas that are
not captured by the camera.
●Images like the following are com-
bined, thus some areas may be
difficult to view.
