When the vehicle posture tilts
due to the number of passen-

load, there is a margin of error

When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bum-
pers, etc.) nearby in positions higher than the surface of the road,
take extra care when using the following.
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on
flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension
objects (such as vehicle bumpers , etc.) that are in positions higher
than the surface of the road. For example, even though it appea rs
that there is space between the bumpers of the two vehicles in the
illustration below and they are not likely to collide, in reali ty, a colli-
sion is about to occur. Distortion of three-dimensional objects on the screen

WARNING
●When a sensor indicator on the in tuitive parking assist display illumi-
nates in red or a buzzer sounds continuously, be sure to check the area
around the vehicle immediately a nd do not proceed any further until
safety has been ensured, otherwise an unexpected accident may o ccur.

The estimated course lines targe t flat surfaced objects (such as the
road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimen-
sional objects (such as vehicles) using the estimated course li nes
and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional
object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), b e care-
ful of the following.
Since the estimated course line
is displayed for a flat road sur-
face, it cannot depict the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects
(such as vehicle bumpers, etc.)
that are in positions higher than
the surface of the road. Even if
the bumpers of the vehicle is on
the outside of the estimated
course line in the image, in real-
ity, the vehicles are on a colli-
sion course.

Three-dimensional objects
(such as the overhang of a wall
or loading platform of a truck) in
high positions may not be pro-
jected on the screen. Check the
safety of the surroundings

The pillar that is diagonal to the
parking spot may be displayed
perpendicular on the screen.
Even if it seems like there will
not be a collision, the pillar is
diagonal, so there may be colli-
sion with the upper part of the
pillar.
Check the safety of the sur-
roundings directly.Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown below, the
truck appears to be outside of
the estimated course lines and
the vehicle does not look as if it
hits the truck. However, the rear
body of the truck may actually
cross over the estimated course
lines. In reality if you back up as
guided by the estimated course
lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.

*: If equipped
The camera switch is located as
shown in the illustration.
●The Multi-terrain Monitor is dis-
played by operating when
vehicle speed is approximately 10
mph (16 km/h) or less. If the vehi-
cle speed exceeds approximately
10 mph (16 km/h), the Multi-ter-
rain Monitor display is canceled.
Multi-terrain Monitor*
The Multi-terrain Monitor
helps the driver to check the
vehicle surroundings. It
assists in determining the
conditions around the
driver in a variety of situa-
tions, such as when judging
conditions during off-road
driving or checking for
obstacles when parking.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions
to avoid an accident that could
result in death or serious injuries.
■When using the Multi-terrain
Monitor system
●Never rely solely on the Multi-
terrain Monitor. As with
unequipped vehicles, drive
carefully while directly confirm-
ing the safety o f your surround-
ings and the area to the rear of
the vehicle. Take particular care
to avoid parked cars and other
obstacles.
●Due to the characteristics of the
camera lens, the actual position
and distance of people and
other obstacles will differ from
those shown on the Multi-terrain
Monitor screen. Directly con-
firm the safety of your surround-
ings before driving.
●Do not drive while only looking
at the screen. When driving,
make sure to directly confirm
the safety of your surroundings,
such as by visually checking the
area and using the vehicle’s
mirrors.
●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the images may
become faint. Images of moving
objects in particular may distort
or disappear from the screen.
Therefore, make sure to drive
carefully while directly visually
confirming the safety of your
surroundings.
