Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-141.
NOTE
The parking sensor obstruction detection indication does not display. Switch the screen
display to the top view/rear view display if the parking sensor warning sound is activated.
The rear wide view screen displays the image at the rear of the vehicle at a wide angle
and corrects the image to help detect approaching obstructions from the side. Therefore, it
differs from the actual view.
▼ Margin of Error Between
Road Surface on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of error between the road surface appearing on the screen and
the actual road surface. A margin of error in the perceived distance could lead to an
accident, therefore be aware of the followin g conditions which can more easily produce
errors in the perceived distance.
The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera can appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.

Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indication turns on ar ound the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrason ic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-302.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a warning is displayed on the center display.

approaching from the rear left and right side s of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reve rsing by flashing the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating the warning sound.
