360° View Monitor*
▼360° View Monitor
The 360°View Monitor consists of the
following functions which assist the
driver in checking the area surrounding
the vehicle using various indications in
the center display and a warning sound
while the vehicle is being driven at low
speeds or while parking.
To p v i e w
The top view displays an image of
the vehicle from directly above on
the center display by combining the
images taken from the 4 cameras set
on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the
screen when the front view or rear
view screen is being displayed. The
top view assists the driver in
checking the area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving
forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the
vehicle is displayed on the center
display.
The view from the front assists the
driver in checking the front of the
vehicle by displaying guide lines on
the displayed image taken from the
front of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left
and right sides of the vehicle are
displayed on the center display.
The side view assists the driver in
checking the front sides of the
vehicle by displaying guide lines on
the displayed image taken from the
front left and right sides of the
vehicle.
Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the
vehicle is displayed on the center
display.
The image from the rear assists the
driver in checking the rear of the
vehicle by displaying guide lines on
the displayed image taken from the
rear of the vehicle.
Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the
vehicle while the top view/side view
is displayed, an obstruction
detection indication turns on around
the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic
sensors to detect obstructions
around the vehicle when the vehicle
is driven at low speeds, such as
during garage or parallel parking,
and notifies the driver of the
approximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding
obstruction using sound and an
obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on
page 4-232.
Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision
with an approaching vehicle while
the front view/front wide view/side
view is displayed, a warning is
displayed on the center display.
The Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA) is
designed to assist the driver in
checking both sides of the vehicle
when the vehicle starts to drive at an
intersection.
Refer to Front Cross Traffic Alert
(FCTA) on page 4-112.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision
with an approaching vehicle while
the rear view/rear wide view is
displayed, a warning is displayed on
the center display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
uses rear side radar sensor to detect
vehicles approaching from the rear
left and right sides of the vehicle,
and it assists the driver in checking
the rear of the vehicle while reversing
by flashing the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating
the warning sound.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) on page 4-115.

WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors
and directly with your eyes when
driving:
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assi sts the driver in
checking the safety of the area around
the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are
limited. For example, the areas in black
at the front and rear of the vehicle
image and the seams where each of
the camera images merge are blind
spots where an obstruction may not be
visible. In addition, the extended
vehicle width lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the
screen may differ from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
 Do not use the 360°View Monitor
under any of the following
conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.
 The front or rear doors are not fully
closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 The door mirrors are retracted.
 Do not hit the front/rear camera,
front bumper, liftgate, and door
mirrors forcefully. The camera
position or installation angle may
shift.
 The cameras are waterproof. Do not
disassemble, modify, or remove a
camera.
 The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil
film remover, organic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent
gets on the camera cover, wipe it off
using a soft cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera lens
forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive
or hard brush. Otherwise, it could
scratch the camera lens and
negatively affect the images.

 The method for parking/stopping
the vehicle using the 360°View
Monitor differs depending on the
road circumstances/conditions and
the vehicle conditions. When and

▼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.
