1474-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
4
Audio/visual system
Station interference: When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio
station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere
with each other, making it diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by
external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension
power lines, lightening or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
■SiriusXM
Cargo loaded on the roof lug-
gage carrier, especially metal
objects, may adversely affect
the reception of SiriusXM Sat-
ellite Radio.
Alternation or modifications
carried out without appropri-
ate authorization may invali-
date the user’s right to
operate the equipment.
■CertificationUse of the Made for Apple
badge means that an acces-
sory has been designed to
connect specifically to the

tified by the developer to meet

dards. Apple is not responsi-
ble for the operation of this

Peripheral monitoring system
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 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.198)
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 monitor.
(These differences include,
among others, cases in which
displayed objects appear to
have fallen over, disappear near
image processing areas, appear
from image processing areas,
or when the actual distance to
an object differs from the dis-
played position.)
