HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING!
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed ob-
jects.
. Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the
bird-eye view are greatly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course line and
the bird-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in
the monitor are closer than they appear.
Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.

.The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
. The distance between objects viewed in
the rear view differs from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in
the rear view and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line.
. The displayed lines on the rear view will
appear slightly off to the right because
the RearView camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.Front and rearview

INFO:
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering-wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the neutral position, both the right
and left predictive course lines
*6are dis-
played. When the steering-wheel turns about 90
degrees or more, a line is displayed only on the
opposite side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
WARNING!
. Objects in the bird-eye view will appear
further than the actual distance because
the bird-eye view is a pseudo view that is
processed by combining the views from
the cameras on the outside mirrors, the
front and the rear of the vehicle.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera cannot
be displayed.
. The view for the bird-eye view may be
misaligned when the camera position
alters. .
A line on the ground may be misaligned
and is not seen as being straight at the
seam of the views. The misalignment will
increase as the line proceeds away from
the vehicle.
. The tire angle display does not indicate
the actual tire angle
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view
of the vehicle, which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predicted course
to a parking space.
*1Vehicle icon:
Shows the position of the vehicle. The size
of the vehicle icon on the bird-eye view
may differ somewhat from the actual
vehicle.
*2Non-viewable areas:
The objects in these areas do not appear
on the screen. The areas are usually
indicated in black but will be highlighted
in yellow for several seconds after the bird-
eye view is displayed for the first time after
the switch is placed in the “ON”position,
to remind the driver of the non-viewable
areas.
*3Corner sonar:
Indicates that the sonar detected an object
around the corner of the vehicle.
*4Center sonar:
Indicates that the sonar detected an object
around the center of the vehicle.
*5Tire angle indicator:
Indicates the angle of the tires to help the
driver in instances such as parking.
*6Predictive course lines:
Displayed when the steering-wheel is
turned and is out of the neutral position.
The lines will move according to how much
the steering-wheel is turned. When the
monitor displays the rear view, the pre-
dictive course lines are shown at the rear

of the vehicle.
Front-side view
Guiding lines that indicate the width and
the front end of the vehicle are displayed
on the monitor.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR FUNCTION
The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone
to inform the driver of obstacles near the
bumper.
WARNING!
. The sonar is a convenience feature. It is
not a substitute for proper parking.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
. Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
. Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar as contained in this section.
. The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-
wide, rear and rear-wide views indicate different distances to the object.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic sources
such as an automatic car wash, a truck’s
compressed-air brakes or a pneumatic
drill may affect the function of the
system; this may include reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
. This function is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may it not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
. The system may not detect the following
objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, glass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or
chain.
— Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION!
.
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
. Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of snow,
ice and dirt. Do not scratch the surface of
the sonar sensors when cleaning. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy of the
sonar function will be diminished.
The system sounds the tone for front
objects when the shift lever is in the D
(Drive) position and both front and rear
objects when the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the
display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shift lever
position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above

6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
Warning tone and indicator
As the vehicle approaches the detected
objects, the color of the warning indicator
and the tone will change from green to
yellow and then to red.
IndicatorTone
green
(blink slow) intermittent (slow)
yellow
(blink fast) intermittent (fast)
red
(no blinking) continuous
The intermittent tone will stop after three
seconds when an object is detected by
only the corner sonar and the distance
does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is away
from the vehicle.
Turning sonar system on/off
When the Sonar·MOD key is touched, the
indicator light on the key will turn off and
the sonar will turn off temporarily. The
Moving Object Detection (MOD) system will
also be turned off at the same time.
“Moving Object Detection (MOD)”
(page 7-13)
When the switch is touched again, the
indicator light will illuminate and the sonar
will turn back on.
In the cases below, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically: . When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
. When is pushed and a
screen other than the camera view is
shown on the display.
. When the vehicle speed decreases
below approximately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in
the “OFF” position and turned back to
the “ON” position again.
. When the switch is selected, the MOD
function will also be turned off.
To prevent the sonar system from activat- ing altogether, change the status the
camera settings menu.
“Around View Monitor settings”
(page 7-16)
INFO:
Touching the sonar switch will also turn on/off
the sonar system temporarily.
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
informs the driver of any moving objects
surrounding the vehicle with images and a
chime when driving out of garages, man-
euvering into parking lots and in other
such instances.
The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is
displayed:
. When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or
N (Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects the
moving objects in the bird-eye view.
The MOD system will not operate if the
outside mirror is moving in or out or if
either door is opened.
. When the shift lever is in the D (Drive)
position and the vehicle speed is below
7. Monitor system
7-13

7. Monitor system
7-14
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the
MOD system detects moving objects in
the front view or front-wide view.
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the vehicle
speed is below approximately 5 MPH
(8 km/h), the MOD system detects
moving objects in the rear view or
rear-wide view. The MOD system will
not operate if the trunk lid is open.
INFO:
.
The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
indicator is not displayed on the screen
when in this view.
.While the sonar/BCI warning tone is beep-
ing, the MOD system does not chime.
WARNING!
. The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not
designed to prevent contact with the
objects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirror and rearview mirror and turn and
check the surrounding area to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
. The MOD system does not have the
function to detect the surrounding sta-
tionary objects.
. Do not use the MOD system when towing
a trailer. The system may not function
properly.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
— When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
— When there is a blinking source of
light.
— When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is pre-
sent.
— When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when a mirror
is folded.
— When there is dirt, water drops or
snow on the camera lens. —
When the position of the moving
objects in the display is not changed.
. The MOD system might detect something
like flowing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, distance or shape of the moving
objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered and the MOD system
may not detect objects properly.
