The rear view monitor provides visual images of the rear of the vehicle when reversing.
WA R N I N G
Always drive carefully
confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by
looking directly with your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen is dangerous as it may cause an accident
or a collision with an object. The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device when
reversing the vehicle. The images on the screen may be different from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the rear view monitor under the following conditions: Using the rear view
monitor under the following conditions is dang erous and could result in injury or vehicle
damage or both.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.
 The liftgate is not fully closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 When the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen and may be
dimmer than usual, which could cause
difficulty in
confirming the surrounding conditions
of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirm ing the safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
 Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may deviate.
 Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
 The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic solvents,
wax, or glass coating agents to the camera co ver. If any are spilled on the cover, wipe off

▼Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the wid

reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking spa ce or garage.

a
a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines. These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 0.5 m (19.7 in) for the red line and
1.0 m (39.4 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at t he center point of each of
the lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the
steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding
area directly with your eyes while backing up.
▼ Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehic
le varies depending on the
traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering a nd the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so conf irm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and

the distance between the vehicle w idth lines and the sides of the parking space on the
left and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to
the left and right sides of the parking space.
5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your v ehicle slowly into the
parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in
the best possible position.

NOTE
If the parking space has division lines, straighten the wheels when the vehicle width
guide lines are parallel to them.
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated
below, and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the rear of
the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back end
and distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not
actually be aligned on the ground.
When parking in a space with a division li ne on only one side of the parking space,
the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear aligned in the monitor, but
they may not actually be aligned on the ground.

▼ Variance Between Actual Road Con
ditions 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 s creen appears farther than the
actual distance.
