Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are displ\
ayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the w\
idth of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or gar\
age.
b
a
a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the v\
ehicle.
b) Distance guide lines.
These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured \
from the vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for t\
he red line and 100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center\
point of each of the
lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fi xed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning
of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the
surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.
Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies\
depending on
the traffi c, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confi rm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor\
.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).

(Dis p lay c on d it ion) (V e h ic le c on d it ion )
3. After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing u\
p slowly so that
the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parkin\
g space on the left
and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide line\
s are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.
5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slow\
ly into the parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then sto\
p the vehicle
in the best possible position. (If the parking space has division lines\
, check whether the
vehicle width guide lines are parallel to them.)

the screen returns to
the previous display.

When Driving
Rear View Monitor
NOTE
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated below,
and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the \
rear of the vehicle
and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
 y In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed below, even though the back end
and distance guide lines appear parallel in the monitor, they may not actually be parallel
on the ground.
 y When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the par\
king space, the
division line and the vehicle width guide line may appear parallel on th\
e monitor, but they
may not actually be parallel on the ground.

Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Suc\
h variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following condi\
tions that may cause
a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen app\
ears farther than the
actual distance.

Interior Features
Audio System
 y The CD player has been designed to
play CDs bearing the identifi cation logo
as shown below. No other discs can be
played.
 y  Use discs that have been legitimately
produced. If illegally-copied discs such
as pirated discs are used, the system may
not operate properly.
 y  Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD
by grasping the outer edge or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
 y  Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the
side without a label). The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.
 y  Dust, fi nger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light refl ected
from the signal surface, thus affecting
sound quality. If the CD should become
soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth
from the center of the CD to the edge.
 y  Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
thinner can also damage the surface of
the CD and must not be used. Anything
that can damage, warp, or fog plastic
should never be used to clean CDs.
 y  The CD player ejects the CD if the CD
is inserted upside down. Also dirty and/
or defective CDs may be ejected.
 y  Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD
player.
 y  Do not insert any disc with a peel-off
seal affi xed to it.
 y  This unit may not be able to play certain
CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer
or music CD recorder due to disc
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt,
etc., or due to dust or condensation on
the lens inside the unit.
 y  Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to
direct sunlight or high temperature may
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make
them unplayable.
 y  CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB
cannot be played.
 y  This unit may not be able to play certain
discs made using a computer due to the
application (writing software) setting
used. (For details, consult the store
where the application was purchased.)
 y  It is possible that certain text data, such
as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW
may not be displayed when musical data
(CD-DA) is playing.
 y  The period from when a CD-RW is
inserted to when it begins playing is
longer than a normal CD or CD-R.
 y  Completely read the instruction manual
and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
 y  Do not use discs with cellophane tape
adhering, partially peeled off labels,
or adhesive material exuding from the
edges of the CD label. Also, do not use
discs with a commercially-available
CD-R label affi xed. The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.
