How to use the projected vehicle path line function
1. (Screen display)
2. (Actual condition)

Make sure that there are no obstructions within the projected vehicle path lines.
Turn the steering wheel so that the projected vehicle path lines travel inside of the
obstruction (A), and drive the vehicle forward until it passes the obstruction.
If the projected vehicle path lines are on an obstruction (B) or outside of the
obstruction (C), the vehicle may contact the obstruction when turning the vehicle
sharply.
CAUTION
¾The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions
closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.

For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and
warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-252.
¾Do not turn the steering wheel any more until the vehicle has passed the
obstruction, even if the obstruction is not visible on the side view image. If the
steering wheel is turned even more, the vehicle may contact the obstruction if it is
turned sharply.
NOTE
xBecause there might be a
difference between the image displayed on the screen
and the actual conditions, always check the safety of the surrounding area using
the mirrors and directly with your eyes when driving.
xEven though the object displayed on the screen, such as a road curb or a division
line of a parking space, and the vehicle parallel guide lines appear parallel, they
may not actually be parallel.
▼Top View/Rear View
Use the top view/rear view to assist in checking the safety of the surrounding area
when accelerating from a stop, parking , or stopping the vehicle.

xBecause images displayed in the top view screen are processed from each camera,
the top view screen may display in the following ways.
xIf an image containing an object with a conspicuous colour is picked up by any
of the cameras, the screen area for each camera may be affected and it may
display in that colour.
xObstructions displayed in the rear view may not display on the top view screen.xIf the position or angle of each camera changes due to tilting of the vehicle, the
image may appear distorted.
xLines on the road may appear distorted at the seams where each of the camera
images merge.
xThe screen area for each camera may appear bright/dark depending on the
illumination level around any of the cameras.

How to use the projected vehicle path line function
CAUTION
¾The front of the vehicle swings out wide when turning the steering wheel while
reversing. Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.
¾The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions
closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and
warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-252.
NOTE
xBecause there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen,
such as indicated in the following , and the actual conditions when parking, always
check the safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with
your eyes.
xEven though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the
screen and distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be
parallel.
xWhen parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking
space, even though the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear
parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
xThe following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned
to the left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from
the opposite direction, the steering operation is reversed.

1. Back the vehicle into the parking space by turning the steering wheel so that the
vehicle enters the centre of the parking space.

2. (Actual condition)
2. After the vehicle starts entering the parking space, stop and adjust the steering
wheel so that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the
parking space on the left and right are roughly equal, and then continue backing
up slowly.
3. Once the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and
right are parallel, straighten the wheels and back the vehicle slowly into the
parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the

(1) Extended vehicle width lines and
distance guide lines (blue & red)These guide lines indicate the approximate width of the
vehicle and distance to a point measured from the rear
of the vehicle (from the end of the bumper).
xThe red lines indicate the points up to about 0.5 m
(19 in) from the rear end of the bumper.
NOTE
The top view/rear wide view screen displays the image at the rear of the vehicle at a
wide angle and corrects the image to help detect approaching obstructions from the
side. Therefore, it differs from the actual view.
▼Margin of Error Between Road Surface on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of error between the road surface appearing on the
screen and the actual road surface. A margin of error in the perceived distance could
lead to an accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more
easily produce errors in the perceived distance.

The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera can appear farther or
closer than the actual distance from the vehicle.
