The Multi Around Monitor system uses fourcameras, “Front-view camera”, “Side-viewcameras (right and le
ft)” and “Rear-view
camera”, and displays
composite views from
those cameras on a screen in the DISPLAYAUDIO or the Smartphone Link DisplayAudio.The Multi Around Monitor
system wi
ll assist
the driver to park the vehicle in a narrow orparallel parking space.
CAUTIONThe reference lines for
distance and vehicle
width are intended to i
ndicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface.They may not indicate correct distancedepending on the shape of an obstacle.For example, when there is an object behindthe vehicle that has u
pper sections projecting
in the direction of the
vehicle, the reference
lines on the screen will
indicate that point A
is the farthest point an
d point B is the closest
point to the vehicle. In
reality, point A and B
are actually the same distance from the vehi-cle, and point C is fa
rther off than point A
and B.Case 2A- Actual objectsB- Objects shown on the screen

• A vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object such as continuousbends, elevated median
/island, traffic signs,
roadside trees.• Your vehicle passes
an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility.• Another vehicle crosse
s ahead of your vehi-
cle.
The headlights may remain at low beam (orbe switched from high beam to low beam)when a reflective object (e.g. street light,traffic signal, notic
eboard and signboard)
reflects light. Any of the following
factors may influence
the headlight beam switching timing:• How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle il
luminate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in frontor oncoming vehicle.• Only right or left exte
rior light of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle is illuminat-
ing.• A vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is a
motorcycle.• Road conditions (gradient, bends and roadsurface).• The number of occupants and luggage load.The automatic high beam system recognisesenvironmental conditi
ons by sensing a light
source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, youmay feel like someth
ing is not quite right
when the headlight beams are switched auto-matically.NOTE
The system may not de
tect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.The system may not detect an ambientbrightness precisely. Th
is causes the traffic
to be dazzled by high beam or the low beamto be maintained. In such cases, you shouldswitch the headlight beams manually.• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow orsandstorm).• The windshield is
dirty or fogged up.
• The windshield is cracked or broken.• The sensor is deformed or dirty.• A light, which is similar to the headlights ortail lights, is shin

dirty or discoloured, or the direction of theheadlight beams is adjusted improperly. • It becomes dark and bright suddenly andcontinuously around your vehicle.• Your vehicle is driv
en on uneven surfaces.
• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.• A reflective object su
ch as a noticeboard or
a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehi-cle.• When lights of the vehi
cle in front or head-
lights of an oncoming ve
hicle blend into the
other lights.• The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as acontainer truck) re
flect a strong light.
• Your vehicle's headligh
t is broken or dirty.
NOTE
• Your vehicle is inclined
due to a flat tire or
towing.• The warning display appears.(Refer to “System problem warning” onpage 5-214.)good usage conditions: • Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor.• Do not affix a sticke
