5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slowly intothe parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop
the vehicle in the best possible position. (If the parking space has division lines,
check whether the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to them.)

NOTE
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated
below, and the actual conditions when parkin g , 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.

NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed
images (mirror images).
1. Shift the shift lever (manual transmission) or the selector lever (automatic

▼ Variance Between Actual Road Conditions 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 screen appears farther
than the actual distance.

When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed
on the screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.
1. Appears farther than actual distance

Three-dimensional object on vehicle rear
Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a flat surface, the distance
to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is different from the actual
distance.

2. (Actual condition)
3. Sensed distance on screen A>B>C
4. Actual distance B>C=A

When reversing near a three-dimensional object
When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if
the anticipated course line does not contact the object on the screen. The position
of the object displayed on the screen is different from the actual position because
the anticipated course lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road
surface. When backing up near an overhanging object, confirm the rear and
surrounding conditions directly with your eyes.
