LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the ve hicle width extension guide lines
may not actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space,
even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width extension guide lines and the
left and right dividing lines of the parking spac e may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide fo r flat road surfaces. In
any of the following situations, th ere is a margin of error between the
guide lines on the screen and the ac tual distance /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.
