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 t he panoramic
view/moving view/see-through
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/moving view/see-through
view.

TRAC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in con-
ditions where stability and power
may be lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active
Cornering Assist. Active Corner-
ing Assist may not operate
effectively when accelerating
down slopes or driving on slip-
pery road surfaces.
●When Active Corn ering Assist
frequently operates, Active Cor-
nering Assist may temporarily
stop operating to ensure proper
operation of the brakes, TRAC
