Bird’s-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predictive course to
a parking space.
The vehicle icon
shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the distance between
objects viewed in the bird’s-eye view differs
from the actual distance.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
are indicated in black.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the unviewable area
is high-
lighted in yellow for a few seconds after the
bird’s-eye view is displayed. Predictive course lines (
and) indicate the
predictive course when operating the vehi-
cle. The predictive course lines (
and) will
be displayed on the monitor when the
steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines (
and) will move depending
on how much the steering wheel is turned.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther than the actual dis-
tance.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera posi-
tion alters.
. A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned and is not seen as being
straight at the seam of the views.
The misalignment will increase as the
line proceeds away from the vehicle.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-7

Front-wide/rear-wide view:
The front-wide view/rear-wide view shows
a wider area on the entire screen and allows
checking of the blind corners on the right and
left sides. The front-wide view/rear-wide
view displays an approximately 180-degree
area while the front view and the rear view
display an approximately 150-degree area.
The predictive course lines are not displayed
on the front-wide view /rear-wide view.
Distance guide lines
-:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
. Red line
: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
(front-wide view only):
approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
:
Indicate the approximate vehicle width.
Off-road mode (for 4WD models)
When the shift lever is out of the R (Reverse)
position, selecting the 4L position using the
4WD shift switch affects the Around View
®
Monitor display as follows:
. Selecting the 4L position will activate the
Around View
®Monitor. The front view/
front-side view split screen will be dis-
played. .
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position with the 4L position se-
lected, the front view/front-side view
split screen will be displayed.
. When the vehicle is shifted to the 4L
position with the bird’s-eye view dis-
played, the passenger side of the display
will change to the front-side view.
When in the off-road mode, the Around
View
®Monitor will not return to the pre-
vious screen. The screen displayed on the
Around View
®Monitor will automatically
return to the previous screen 3 minutes after
the vehicle was shifted out of the 4L
position.
Difference between predicted and
actual distances
The displayed guide lines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces
or projecting objects will be actually located
at distances different from those displayed
in the monitor relative to the guide lines
(refer to illustrations). When in doubt, turn
around and view the objects as you are
backing up, or park and exit the vehicle to
view the positioning of objects behind the
vehicle.
WAE0286X
Backing up on a steep uphill:
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
farther than it appears on the monitor.

before the monitor
(power) button is
operable.
2. On some vehicles after the ignition is turned off, the system will continue to
work for 10 minutes, or until the driver’s
door is opened.
3. Remember to turn the monitor off and pivot the screen to the locked (latched)
position when not in use.
Audio options
Wireless headphones
Each monitor includes a built-in dual channel
infrared transmitter for use with wireless
headphones. The wireless headphones must
be used within a line of sight from the
transmitter as infrared signals, like visible
light, travel only in a straight line.
How to use the wireless headphones
When placing the headphones on your head,
make sure to observe the left and right
orientation. The headphones must be or-
iented correctly (facing forward) to receive
the audio signal. Press the
(power)
button on the headphones, then select
channel “A” to listen to monitor A, or channel
“B” to listen to monitor B. Adjust the audio level using the volume control on each
headphone.
Wired headphones
There is a 3.5mm stereo headphone output
on each monitor which can be used with
most standard stereo headphones (wired
headphones sold separately).
Bluetooth
®streaming audio
To listen to audio throughout the entire
vehicle, the system includes the ability to
stream audio over a Bluetooth
®connection
to the vehicle’s stereo system.
When monitor A is selected as the source to
stream from, the audio output to the wire-
less and wired headphones will be disabled
(only on monitor A). To use the wireless or
wired headphones with monitor A, you must
turn off the Bluetooth
®streaming feature.
To enable/disable Bluetooth®streaming,
navigate to the “SETTINGS” menu, or press
on the remote control during content
playback. For additional information, see
“Settings” (P.4-61).
Media compatibility
For a list of compatible media formats for
this system, see “Storage device formatting”
(P.4-39).
. The metadata or file information of some
audio and video files may not be cor-
rectly displayed. .
It is not possible to play content that is
protected by DRM (Digital Rights Man-
agement).
. There may be a delay before playback
begins when using USB flash drives or
SD cards with complex folder hierarchies
or many files.
. Some audio, video, and image files may
be incompatible with this system due to
file characteristics, file format, recording
software used, directory structure, and/
or the type of audio/video encoding
used.
Storage device formatting
This system is compatible with several types
of formatting for USB flash drives and SD
cards. Refer to the documentation that
comes with your storage device for more
details on how to format.
FAT32 - USB and SDHC
Good for smaller capacity storage devices,
but individual files on the drive must be less
than 4GB. This format is good for music and
images.
EX-FAT - USB and SDXC
Better choice for larger capacity storage
devices with files that are more than 4GB.
This format is better for larger files such as
full-length movies.
