Surround View Camera*
The Surround View Camera System allows the driver to check the blind spots
through the images displayed on the audio/information screen.
Using this support system will reduce the driver's stress in the following situations.
•Backing up the vehicle into a parking space marked with parking lines.
• Checking both ways at intersections with poor visibility.
• Parallel-parking in a parking sp ace marked with parking lines.
• Checking for obstacles in front of the vehicle.
• Checking for obstacles at the rear of the vehicle.
• Checking for obstacles around the front right and left sides of the vehicle.1Surround View Camera*
Always keep the camera lens clean and
unobstructed. The rearview camera has a lens
that makes distances appear different than they
actually are. Always take care when backing up,
and look behind you for obstacles.
Navigation controls ar e disabled when in
Reverse.
Adjusting the brightness for the camera display
does not affect the br ightness of the audio/
information screen.
If you turn the guide lines off, they remain off
until you turn them back on.
The Surround View Camera System is designed
to reduce the driver's stress of operating the
vehicle. Use this system as support for visual
checks to confirm the safety in areas likely to be
blind spots.
The Surround View Camera System does not
eliminate all blind spots. Visually confirm safety
around the vehicle with yo ur own eyes and the
mirrors. Do not rely on the camera view.

The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. The Startup Confirmation
screen goes off after a certain period of time and the top screen of the last mode is
displayed.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.

The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am driving a route on the highway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to On, the navigation system pr ovides a detour route to
your destination only if it can find a signific antly faster route than the original one.

The navigation system routes me to an exit and an
alternate highway with unknown flow speeds or
surface streets.The navigation system predicts which ro ute should be faster based on highway
congestion along your route. Use your own experience to determine whether the
alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the
original route?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Routing , and set Traffic
