2. After the vehicle starts entering the parking space, stop and adjust the steering wheel so
that the distance between the veh icle width lines and the sides of the parking space on
the left and right are roughly equal, and then continue backing up slowly.
3. Once the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking spa ce on the left and right are
parallel, straighten the wheels and back the vehicle slowly int o the parking space.

(1) Extended vehicle width lines and dis‐ tance guide lines (blue & red) These guide lines indicate the
approximate width of the vehi‐
cle and distance to a point measured from the rear of the vehi‐
cle (from the end of the bumper).
The red lines indicate the points up to about 0.5 m (19 in)
from the rear end of the bumper.
NOTE
The top view/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 Sur
face on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of error between the road surface ap pearing on the screen and
the actual road surface. A margi n of error in the perceived distance could lead to an
accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more easily produce
errors in the perceived distance.

The vehicle tilts due to weig ht of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera ca n appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.

▼Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the wid
th of the vehicle (yellow) are displayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking spa ce or garage.

a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines. These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 0.5 m (19.7 in) for the red line and
1.0 m (39.4 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at t he center point of each of
the lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the
steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding
area directly with your eyes while backing up.
▼ Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehic
le varies depending on the
traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering a nd the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so conf irm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear vie w monitor.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).

NOTE
If the parking space has division lines, straighten the wheels when the vehicle width
guide lines are parallel to them.
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated
below, and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the rear of
the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back end
and distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not
actually be aligned on the ground.
When parking in a space with a division li ne on only one side of the parking space,
the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear aligned in the monitor, but
they may not actually be aligned on the ground.

▼ Variance Between Actual Road Con
ditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following conditions that may cause
a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the s creen appears farther than the
actual distance.
