

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 
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide 
lines on the screen and the 
actual distance/course on the 
road.

■

When the ground behind 
the vehicle slopes up 
sharply

The distance guidelines are pro-
jected on a horizontal surface, 
distances on an upward sloping 
surface appear farther from the 
vehicle 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 guidelines are pro-
jected on a horizontal surface, 
distances on an downward slop-
ing surface appear closer to the 
vehicle than the actual distance. 
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 vehi-
cle sags

When the vehicle posture tilts 
due to the number of passen-
gers or the distribution of the 
load, there is a margin of error 
between the guide lines on the 
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.

A margin of error

The estimated course lines tar-
get flat surfaced objects (such 
as the road). It is not possible to 
determine the position of three-
dimensional objects (such as 
vehicles) using the estimated 
course lines and distance guide 
lines. When approaching a 
three-dimensional object that 
extends outward (such as the 
flatbed of a truck), be careful of 
the following.

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.

Estimated course lines

Visually check the surroundings 
and the area behind the vehicle. 
On the screen, it appears that a 
truck is parking at point  . 
However, in reality if you back 

up to point  , you will hit the 
truck. On the screen, it appears 
that   is closest and   is far-
thest away. However, in reality, 
the distance to   and   is the 
same, and   is farther than

If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause 
and the solution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

The screen illustrations used in 

this text are intended as exam-

ples, and may differ from the 

image that is actually displayed on 

the screen.

The panoramic view monitor is a 
supplemental device intended to 
assist the driver when checking 
around the vehicle. When using, 
be sure to visually check all 
around the vehicle both directly 
and using the mirrors before 
proceeding. If you do not, you 
may hit another vehicle or possi-

bly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following 
precautions when using the 
panoramic view monitor.

Panoramic view moni-

tor

*

Panoramic view monitor 
assists the driver in viewing 
the surroundings, when 
operating at low speeds, by 
combining the front, side 
and rear cameras and dis-
playing a complete vehicle 
overhead image on the 
screen.
When you press the camera 
switch or shift the shift lever 
to R while the power switch 
is in ON, the panoramic 
view monitor operates.
The monitor displays vari-
ous views of the position 
and surroundings of the 
vehicle.

Driving precautions

WARNING

●

Never depend on the panoramic 

view monitor entirely. The 

image and the position of the 

guide lines displayed on the 

screen may differ from the 

actual state. Use caution just as 

you would when driving any 

other vehicle.

●

Always make sure to check all 

around the vehicle with your 

own eyes when driving.

●

Never drive while looking only at 

the screen as the image on the 

screen is different from actual 

conditions. If you are driving 

while looking only at the screen, 

you may hit a person or an 

object, resulting in an accident. 

When driving, be sure to check 

the vehicle’s surroundings with 

your own eyes and the vehicle’s 

mirrors.

●

Depending on the circum-

stances of the vehicle (number 

of passengers, amount of lug-

gage, etc.), the position of the 

guide lines displayed on the 

screen may change. Be sure to 

check visually around the vehi-

cle before proceeding.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

●

Do not use the panoramic view 

monitor system in the following 

cases:

• On icy or slick road surfaces, or 

in snow

• When using tire chains or emer-

gency tires

• When the front door or the tail-

gate is not closed completely

• On roads that are not flat or 

straight, such as curves or 

slopes

• If the suspension has been 

modified or tires of a size other 

than specified are installed

●

In low temperatures, the screen 

may darken or the image may 

become faint. The image could 

distort when the vehicle is mov-

ing, or you may become unable 

to see the image on the screen. 

Be sure to visually check all 

around the vehicle both directly 

and using the mirrors before 

proceeding.

●

If the tire sizes are changed, the 

position of the guide lines dis-

played on the screen may 

change.

●

The camera uses a special lens. 

The distances between objects 

and pedestrians that appear in 

the image displayed on the 

screen will differ from the actual 

distances. (

●

When an aftermarket part is 

installed in the display area of 

the screen.

NOTICE

●

In panoramic view/moving 

view/see-through view, the sys-

tem combines images taken 

from the front, back, left and 

right side cameras into a single 

image. There are limits to the 

range and content that can be 

displayed. Familiarize yourself 

with the characteristics of the 

panoramic view monitor system 

before using it.

●

Image clarity may decline at the 

four corners of the panoramic 

view/moving view/see-through 

view. However, this is not a mal-

function, as these are the 

regions along the border of 

each camera image where the 

images are combined.

●

Depending on lighting condi-

tions near each of the cameras, 

bright and dark patches may 

appear on the panoramic 

view/moving view/see-through 

view.

●

The panoramic view/moving 

view/see-through view display 

does not extend higher than the 

installation position and image 

capture range of each camera.

●

There are blind spots around 

the vehicle. Accordingly, there 

are regions not displayed in 

panoramic view.

●

Three-dimensional objects dis-

played in wide front view, rear 

view or side view may not be 

displayed in panoramic 

view/moving view/see-through 

view.

The menu button is displayed when the shift lever is in D, N, or R.

NOTICE

●

People and other three-dimen-

sional obstacles may appear 

differently when displayed on 

the panoramic view monitor. 

(These differences include, 

among others, cases in which 

displayed objects appear to 

have fallen over, disappear near 

image processing areas, appear 

from image processing areas, 

or when the actual distance to 

an object differs from the dis-

played position.)

●

When the tailgate, which is 

equipped with the back camera, 

or front doors, which are 

equipped with door mirrors that 

have built-in side cameras, are 

open, images will not be dis-

played properly on the pan-

oramic view monitor.

●

The vehicle icon displayed in 

panoramic view/moving 

view/see-through view is a com-

puter generated image. Accord-

ingly, properties such as the 

color, shape and size will differ 

from the actual vehicle. For this 

reason, nearby three-dimen-

sional objects may appear to be 

touching the vehicle, and actual 

distances to three-dimensional 

objects may differ from those 

displayed.
