When the shift lever is shifted into the R (Re-
verse) position, the monitor display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RearView
Monitor could result in serious injury or
death.
●The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and look out the win-
dows, and check mirrors to be sure that
it is safe to move before operating the
vehicle. Always back up slowly.
●The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
●The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show ev-
ery object.●Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
●Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
●Objects in a RearView Monitor will ap-
pear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
●Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
●Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.
●When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.●Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
Aare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
●Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
●Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
●Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
●Green line
4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)Vehicle width guide lines
5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predictive course lines
6:
Indicate the predictive course when backing up.
The predictive course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the R (Re-
verse) position and the steering wheel is turned.
The predictive course lines will move depending
on how much the steering wheel is turned and
will not be displayed while the steering wheel is in
the neutral position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of the
predictive course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
●Always turn and check that it is safe to
do so before backing up. Always back
up slowly.
●If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.●On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line.
●The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on
the monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual dis-
tance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
●When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When backing up
the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed
in the monitor are closer than they ap-
pear. Use the inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder to properly judge
distances to other objects.

Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 1.0 m (3 ft) to the
place
A, but the actual 1.0 m (3 ft) distance onthe hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown farther than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on

SONAR
The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
WARNING
●The sonar (parking sensor) is a conve-
nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper parking.
●The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 mph (10km/h) . It is reactivated
at lower speeds.●The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
●Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
●Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar (parking sensor) as contained
in this section.
●The colors of the sonar indicators and
the distance guide lines in the front,
front-wide, rear and rear-wide views in-
dicate different distances to the object.
●Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car wash,
a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation.
●This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.
●The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
LHA2549
4-26Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

●The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
●The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, glass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or
chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects.
●If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.CAUTION
●Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
●Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the rear bumper fascia) free
from accumulations of snow, ice and
dirt. Do not scratch the surface of the
sonar sensors when cleaning. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy of the
sonar function will be diminished.
The system gives the tone for rear objects when
the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the display,
the system shows the sonar indicator regardless
of the shift selector position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow
and the rate of the blinking and the rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no longer
near the vehicle.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-27

In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:
●When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
●When the CAMERA button is pressed and a
screen other than the camera view is shown
on the display.
●When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
●When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
OPERATING TIPS
●When the shift lever is shifted to the R (Re-
verse) position, the display screen automati-
cally changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
●When the view is switched, the display im-
ages on the screen may be displayed with
some delay.
●When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.
●When strong light is directly coming on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.●Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
●The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
●The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual color of the objects. This is not a
malfunction.
●Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark environment. This is not a malfunction.
●If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the cam-
era, the RearView Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera.
●Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.
CAUTION
●Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wipe
with a dry cloth.
●Do not damage the camera as the moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected.With the ignition switch in the ON position, press
the CAMERA button or move the shift lever to the
R (Reverse) position to operate the Around View
Monitor. The monitor displays various views of
the position of the vehicle in a split screen format.
WARNING
●The Around View Monitor is a conve-
nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in par-
ticular are blind spots where objects do
not appear in the bird’s-eye, front or
rear views. Always look out the win-
dows and check with your own eyes to
be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly.
●The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
●Do not use the Around View Monitor
with the outside mirror in the stored
position, and make sure that the liftgate
is securely closed when operating the
vehicle using the Around View Monitor.
AROUND VIEW® MONITOR (if so
equipped)

●The distance between objects viewed
on the Around View Monitor differs
from the actual distance.
●The cameras are installed on the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything
on the cameras.
●When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
