HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES

Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with refer-
ence to the vehicle body line

䊊

are dis-

played on the monitor.

Distance guide lines

Indicate distances from the vehicle body.

∙ Red line

䊊

: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)

∙ Yellow line

䊊

: approx. 3 ft (1 m)

∙ Green line

䊊

: approx. 7 ft (2 m)

∙ Green line

䊊

: approx. 10 ft (3 m)

Vehicle width guide lines

䊊

Indicate the vehicle width when backing
up.

Predicted course lines

䊊

Indicate the predicted course when back-
ing up. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the
steering wheel is turned. The predicted
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering wheel is
in the straight-ahead position.

The vehicle width guide lines and the width
of the predicted course lines are wider than
the actual width and course.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES

The displayed guidelines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or downhill
surfaces or projecting objects will be actu-
ally located at distances different from
those displayed in the monitor relative to
the guidelines (refer to illustrations). When
in doubt, turn around and view the objects

as you are backing up, or park and exit the
vehicle to view the positioning of objects
behind the vehicle.

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up on a steep downhill

When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the monitor.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.

∙ The system cannot completely elimi-

nate blind spots and may not show
every object.

∙ Underneath the bumper and the cor-

ner areas of the bumper cannot be
viewed on the RearView Monitor be-
cause of its monitoring range limita-
tion. The system will not show small
objects below the bumper, and may
not show objects close to the bumper
or on the ground.

∙ Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-

tor differ from actual distance be-
cause a wide-angle lens is used.

∙ Objects in the RearView Monitor will

appear visually opposite compared to
when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.

∙ Use the displayed lines as a reference.

The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road conditions and
road grade.

∙ Make sure that the liftgate is securely

closed when backing up.

∙ Do not put anything on the rearview

camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.

∙ When washing the vehicle with high

pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing
water condensation on the lens, a
malfunction, fire or an electric shock.

∙ Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-

sion instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.

The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:

∙ When the temperature is extremely

high or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects.

∙ When strong light directly shines on the

camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.

∙ Vertical lines may be seen in objects on

the screen. This is due to strong re-
flected light from the bumper.

∙ The screen may flicker under fluores-

cent light.

∙ The colors of objects on the RearView

Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.

WARNING

∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in-

structions for the proper use of the
Intelligent Around View Monitor sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.

∙ The Intelligent Around View Monitor is

a convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where ob-
jects cannot be viewed. The four cor-
ners of the vehicle in particular, are
areas where objects do not always
appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear
views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always
operate the vehicle slowly.

∙ The driver is always responsible for

safety

during

parking

and

other

maneuvers.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.

The Intelligent Around View Monitor sys-
tem is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking.

The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen for-
mat. Not all views are available at all times.

Available views:

∙ Front View

An approximately 150–degree view of
the front of the vehicle.

∙ Rear View

An approximately 150–degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.

∙ Bird’s-Eye View

The surrounding views of the vehicle
from above.

∙ Front-Side View

The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.

To display the multiple views, the Intelligent
Around View Monitor system uses cam-
eras located in the front grille, on the vehi-
cle’s outside mirrors and one just above
the vehicle’s license plate

tion other than the R (Reverse) position.

Available views

WARNING

∙ The distance guide lines and the ve-

hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
paved, level surface. The apparent
distance viewed on the monitor may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.

∙ Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-

eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly af-
fected by the number of occupants,
cargo, fuel level, vehicle position, road
condition and road grade.

∙ If the tires are replaced with different

sized tires, the predicted course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.

∙ When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-

jects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When driving
the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed
in the monitor are closer than they
appear.

∙ Objects in the rear view will appear

visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the monitor and outside
mirrors.

∙ Use the mirrors or actually look to

properly judge distances to other
objects.

∙ On a snow-covered or slippery road,

there may be a difference between
the predicted course lines and the ac-
tual course line.

∙ The

vehicle

width

and

predicted

course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.

∙ The

displayed

lines

will

appear

slightly off to the right, because the
rearview camera is not installed in the
rear center of the vehicle.
