How to use the projected vehicle path line function
1. (Screen display)
2. (Actual condition)

Make sure that there are no obstructions within the projected vehicle path lines.
Turn the steering wheel so that the projected vehicle path lines travel inside of the
obstruction (A), and drive the vehicle forward until it passes the obstruction.
If the projected vehicle path lines are on an obstruction (B) or outside of the
obstruction (C), the vehicle may contact the obstruction when turning the vehicle
sharply.
CAUTION
 The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions
closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and
warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-215.
 Do not turn the steering wheel any mo re until the vehicle has passed the
obstruction, even if the obstruction is no t visible on the side view image. If the
steering wheel is turned even more, the vehicle may contact the obstruction if it is
turned sharply.

CAUTION
The front of the vehicle swings out wide when turning the steering wheel while
reversing. Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.
 The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions
closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sens or obstruction detection indication and
warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-215.

check the safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with
your eyes.
Even though the back end of the park ing 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 width guide line appear
parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned
