cameras, the screen area for each camera may be affected and it may display in that
color.
Obstructions displayed in the front view may not display on the top view screen.
If the position or angle of each camera changes due to tilting of the vehicle, the image
may appear distorted.
Lines on the road may appear distorted at the seams where each of the camera images

Viewing the screen

Display/IconContent
(1) Extended vehicle width lines and dis ‐
tance guide lines (blue & red) These guide lines indicate the
approximate width of the vehi‐
cle and distance to a point measur ed from the rear of the vehi‐
cle (from the end of the bumper).
The 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 det ect 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, obstructi ons picked up by a camera can appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.
