The colored guide lines on the display screen indicate vehicle width and\
approximate
distances to objects with reference to the vehicle body line.

(2 m) and 10 ft (3 m).

There are some areas where the system will not
show objects.

appear in the monitor.

The distance between objects viewed on the AVM
differs from the actual distance.

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear further
than the actual distance.

be displayed on the camera image and a chime
will sound.

In the bird’s-eye view, a yellow frame is displayed on
those camera images (front, rear, right, left) where
moving objects are detected.

When the following are displayed:
