WARNING
●The Around View Monitor is a conve-
nience features. It is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
Always look out the windows and check
to be sure that it is safe to move.
●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.
●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-
function, fire or an electric shock.
●Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
AVAILABLE VIEWS
WARNING
●The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved,
level surface. The distance viewed on
the monitor may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle and
displayed objects.●The distance between objects viewed in
the rearview differs from the actual dis-
tance because a wide-angle lens is
used.
●Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-
eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road condition and
road grade.
●If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
●When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
●Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
●Objects in the monitor will appear visu-
ally opposite than when viewed in the
rearview and outside mirrors.

●On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course lines and the actual
course line.
●The displayed lines on the rearview will
appear slightly off to the right, because
the rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
●The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width
and course.
Front and rear view
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width
and distance to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
A, are displayed on the moni-
tor.

The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 10 km/h (6 mph) .
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or less from the neutral position,
both the right and left predictive course
lines
6are displayed. When the steering
wheel turns about 90 degrees or more, a
line is displayed only on the opposite side
of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle po-
sition and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon on
the bird’s-eye view may differ somewhat from the
actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are
indicated in black.
The non-viewable area
2is highlighted in yellow
for several seconds after the bird’s-eye view isdisplayed. It will be shown only the first time after
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
an object, the corner sonar indicators
3appear.
When the center of the vehicle moves close to an
object, the center sonar indicator
4appears (if
so equipped) .
The driver can check the direction and angle of
the tire on the display by tire icon
5when driving
the vehicle forward or backward.
Predictive course lines (
6and7) indicate the
predictive course when operating the vehicle.
The predictive course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when 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.
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, the two green predic-
tive course lines
6are shown in front of the
vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, one green predictive course lines is
shown in front of the vehicle and other green
predictive course lines
7is shown at side of the
vehicle.

When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predictive course lines are shown at back of the
vehicle.
WARNING
●Objects in the bird’s-eye view will ap-
pear further than the actual distance
because the bird’s-eye view is a pseudo
view that is processed by combining the
views from the cameras on the outside
mirrors, the front and the rear of the
vehicle.
●Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
●Objects that are above the camera can-
not be displayed.
●The view of the bird’s-eye view may be
misaligned when the camera position
alters.
●A line on the ground may be misaligned
and is not seen as being straight at the
seam of the views. The misalignment
will increase as the line proceeds away
from the vehicle.
●Tire angle display does not indicate the
actual tire angle.
Front-side view
Guiding lines
Guiding lines that indicate the width and the front
end of the vehicle are displayed on the monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
1shows the front part
of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
2shows the vehicle
width including the outside mirror.
The extensions
3of both the front1and side
2lines are shown with a green dotted line.
The rear sonar indicator will appear when the rear
of the vehicle moves closer to an object

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTIVE AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
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.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-35

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 onthe hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor.
Backing up near a projecting object
The predicted course linesAdo not touch the
object in the display. However, the vehicle may hit
the object if it projects over the actual backing up
course.
LHA3146LHA1201
4-36Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

There may be a small distance visible between
the vehicle and the object in the bird-eye view on
the display
B.
Backing up behind a projecting object
The positionCis shown farther than the position
Bin the display. However, the positionCis
actually at the same distance as the position
A.
The vehicle may hit the object when backing up tothe position
Aif the object projects over the
actual backing up course.
HOW TO SWITCH THE DISPLAY
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 Around View® Monitor can display two split
view as well as a single view of the front-wide
view or rear-wide view. Select the “Change View”
key to switch between the available views.

If the shift lever is not in the R (Reverse) position,
the available views are:
●Front-view/bird’s-eye view split screen
●Front-view/front-side view split screen
●Front-wide view
If the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position, the
available views are:
●Rearview/bird’s-eye view split screen
●Rearview/front-side view split screen
●Rear-wide view
The display will switch from the Around View
Monitor screen when:
●When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-
tion and the vehicle speed increases above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
●When a different screen is selected.
PARKING SENSOR / REAR CENTER
SONAR
The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the dis-
tance guide lines in the rear view indicate differ-
ent distances to the object.
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 (10 km/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.
●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.
LHA2549
4-38Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

●The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
●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.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
10 km/h (6 mph) . 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.
In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:
●When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
●When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) .
●When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
●The sonar system can be permanently
turned off using the meter settings.
