▼Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such
variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following
conditions that may cause a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther
than the actual distance.

When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle
When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed
on the screen appears farther (downgra de: closer) than the actual distance.
1. Appears farther than actual distance
2. Appears closer than actual distance
3. Distance between the vehicle and object displayed on the screen.
4. Actual distance between the vehicle and object.
5. Object at actual position
6. Object on screen
Three-dimensional object on vehicle rear
Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a
flat surface, the distance
to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is di fferent from the actual
distance.
1. (Screen display)
2. (Actual condition)
3. Sensed distance on screen A>B>C
4. Actual distance B>C=A

(Predicted vehicle path assist lines display type)
When reversing near a three-dimensional object
When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if
the anticipated course line does not contact the object on the screen. The position
of the object displayed on the screen is different from the actual position because
the anticipated course lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road
surface. When backing up near an overhanging object, confirm the rear and
surrounding conditions directly with your eyes.

Parking Sensor System*
▼Pa r k i n g S e n s o r Sys t e m
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensor
s which detect obstructions around the
vehicle when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel
parking , and a buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the
approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.

1. Front ultrasonic sensor*
2. Front corner ultrasonic sensor*
3. Rear ultrasonic sensor
4. Rear corner ultrasonic sensor
5. Rear side ultrasonic sensor

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to con firm the
safety around your vehicl e visually when driving:
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited,
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an
accident. Always con firm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.
