Make sure that there are no obstructions within the projected v ehicle path lines.
Turn the steering wheel so that t he projected vehicle path lines travel inside of the
obstruction (A), and drive the ve hicle forward until it passes the obstruction.
If the projected vehicle path lines are on an obstruction (B) o r outside of the obstruction (C),
the vehicle may contact the obstruction when turning the vehicl e sharply.
CAUTION
The parking sensor detection range has limitat ions. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height ma y not be detected. Always confirm the safety

c) Distance guide linesThese lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measur ed from the vehicle's rear
(from the end of the bumper).
The blue line indicates the poi nt about 50 cm (19 in) from the rear bumper.
The red and yellow lines, which change position after you turn the steering wheel,
indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for the red line and 10 0 cm (39.3 in) for the
yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each of the lines).
A degree of error occurs when the wheels are not in the straigh t-ahead position.
In the above illustration, the ri ght side of the vehicle is in a position closer to the actual
distance displayed by the distance guide lines (red: about 50 c m (19 in) point, yellow:
about 100 cm (39.3 in) point behind the rear bumper), whereas t he left side is in a
position farther away.
CAUTION
The indicated position of the guide lines on the display changes depending on the vehicle
conditions (such as the number of occupants/ca rgo load) and the road conditions (such as a
steep gradient to the rear of the vehicle).
Always check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes
