How to use the projected vehicle path line function
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 4-247.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen,
such as indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always
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
to the left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from
the opposite direction, the st eering operation is reversed.
