REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM LIM-
ITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The system cannot completely elim-
inate blind spots and may not show
every 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
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
.Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite com-
pared to when viewed in the rear-view and outside mirrors.
.Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condi-
tions and road grade.
.Make sure that the liftgate is se-
curely closed when backing up.
.Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is
installed above the license plate.
.When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
.Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
The following are operating limitations and do
not represent a system malfunction:
.When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly displayobjects.
.When strong light directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
.Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper.
.The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
.The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
.Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark environment.
.There may be a delay when switching
between views.
.If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, 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
dampened with mild detergent diluted with
water.

WARNING
.Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for the proper use ofthe Around View
Å Monitor system
could result in serious injury or
death.
.The Around View
Å Monitor is a
convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-tion because it has areas where
objects cannot be viewed. The four
corners of the vehicle in particular,
are areas where objects do not
always appear in the bird’s-eye,
front, or rear views. Always check
your surroundings to be sure that it
is safe to move before operating the
vehicle. Always operate the vehicle
slowly. Always look out the win-
dows and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move.
.The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning
dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
The Around View
Å Monitor system is designed
as an aid to the driver in situations such as slot
parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen format.
All views are not available at all times.
AROUND VIEWÅ MONITOR (if so
equipped)

Available views:
.Bird’s-eye view
The surrounding views of the vehicle from
above.
.Front-side view
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
.Front view
An approximately 150–degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
.Rear view
An approximately 150–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
JVH1588X
To display the multiple views, the Around ViewÅ 
Monitor system uses cameras*1located in the
front grille, on the vehicle’s outside mirrors and
one just above the vehicle’s license plate.

WARNING
.The distance guide lines and the
vehicle width lines should be used
as a reference only when the vehicle
is on a paved, level surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is
for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
.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 posi-
tion, road condition and road grade.
.If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines and the bird’s-eye view may be
displayed incorrectly.
.When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
farther than they appear. When
driving the vehicle down a hill,
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-15

4-16Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear.
.Objects in the monitor will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.
.Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
.The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view differs from
actual distance because a wide-
angle lens is used.
.On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
.The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
.The displayed lines on the rear view
will appear slightly off to the right
because the rear view camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.
SAA1840

SAA1896Rear view
Front and rear view:
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
*A, are 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:

Predictive course lines
*6:
Indicate the predictive course when operating
the vehicle. When the monitor displays the rear
view, the predictive course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor if 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 straight ahead position.
The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h) .
NOTE:
.When the monitor displays the front
view and the steering wheel turns

about 90 degrees or less from the
straight ahead position, both the right
and left predictive course lines
*6are
displayed. When the steering wheel
turns about 90 degrees or more, the
predictive course line is displayed only
on the opposite side of the turn.
JVH1037X
Bird’s-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
*1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the distance between objects
viewed in the bird’s-eye view differs from the
actual distance.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
*2are
indicated in black.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ACC or
ON position, the non-viewable area
*2is
highlighted in yellow for a few seconds afterthe bird’s-eye view is displayed.
In addition, the non-viewable corners are dis-
played in red (blinking for the first few seconds)
*3to remind the driver to be cautious.
WARNING
.Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther than the actual dis-
tance.
.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
cannot be displayed.
.The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera
position alters.
.A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned 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.
