Casual speech recognization
Due to natural language speech reco gnition technology, this system
enables recognition of a command when spoken naturally. However,
the system cannot recognize every variation of each command.
In some situations, it is possible to omit the command for the proce-
dure and directly state the desired operation.
Not all voice commands are displayed in the short cut menu.
This function is available in English, Spanish and French.
■ Expression examples for each function
●Voice commands may not be recognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
● In the following conditions, the system may not recognize the command
properly and using voice commands may not be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents
or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.

The rear view image is displayed
when the shift position is in R
and the “POWER” switch is in
ON mode.

and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the
screen.

• 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

■Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view
monitor system is located
above the license plate.
● Using the camera
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image.
If water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the lens, rinse it with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash
it with a mild cleanser and rinse.
■ Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the v ehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the divi ding lines of the parking space,
even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicl e 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 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 guide lines will
appear to be further from 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.

358 3-2. Using the audio system
●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 dis-
tance/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.
● Distance guidelines
Visually check the surround-
ings and the area behind the
vehicle. On the screen, it
appears that a truck is parked
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 furthest
away. However, in reality, the
distance to and is the
same, and is farther than and .

Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surr oundings and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the vehi-
cle width guide 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 vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you back up as guided by
the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.
