CAUTION
 The front of the vehicle swings out wide wh en turning the steering wheel while reversing.
Maintain sufficient distance betwee n the vehicle and an obstruction.
 The parking sensor detection range has limita tions. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle vi sually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-293.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen, such as
indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always check the
safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
Even though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen and
distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, even
though the division line and the vehicle widt h guide line appear parallel, they may not
actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned to the
left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from the opposite

▼ 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.

vehicle when the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The view from the front assists the driver in checking the front of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the displayed im age taken from the front of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left and righ t sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.
Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The image from the rear assists the driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the rear of 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.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses rear side radar sensor to detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right side s of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in

The 360°View Monitor is an aux iliary device which assists the driver in checking the safety of
the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and detect ion range of the sensors are limited. For
example, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where
each of the camera images merge are blind spots where an obstruction may not be visible. In
addition, the extended vehicle width lines and projected vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the scree n may differ from the actual conditions.
