Area displayed on screen

The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear
area of the vehicle.

To adjust the image on the rear
view monitor system screen.
(

→P. 361)

• The area displayed on the

screen may vary according to
vehicle orientation conditions.

• Objects which are close to either

corner of the bumper or under
the bumper cannot be seen on
the screen.

• The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the image that appears

on the screen differs from the actual distance.

• Items which are located higher than the camera may not be displayed

by the monitor.

Rear view monitor system camera

The camera for the rear view
monitor system is located
above the license plate.

● Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud etc.) is
adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this
case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the camera
lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.

Differences between the screen and the actual road

The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.

The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left
and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.

The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply

The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.

● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.

● When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of
the load, there is a margin of
error between the fixed guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.

When approaching three-dimensional objects

The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the dis-
tance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object
that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of
the following.
