Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system will
activate when the shift lever is in
R. ( P. 277, 284)
The rear view monitor system will
be deactivated when the shift lever
is in any position other than R.
When the shift lever is shifted to
the R position and any mode but-
ton (such as “SETUP”) is pressed,
the rear view monitor system is
canceled, and the screen is
switched to the mode of the button
that was pressed.
: If equipped
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the view behind the vehicle with fixed guide lines while
backing up, for example while parking.
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples,
and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the
screen.

The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide line
The line indicates the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line (red)
The line shows distance behind the vehicle, a point approximately 0.5 m
(1.5 ft.) from the edge of the bumper.

■Area displayed on screen
The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear
area of the vehicle.
The image on the rear view
monitor system screen can be
adjusted. Refer to the “Naviga-
tion and multimedia system
Owner’s manual”.
• The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to
vehicle orientation conditions.
• Objects which are close to either
corner of the bumper or under
the bumper cannot be dis-
played.
• The camera uses a special lens.
The distance of the image that
appears on the screen differs
from the actual distance.
• Items which are located higher than the camera may not be displayed
on the monitor.

■Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view monitor system is located on the tail-
gate.
● Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud etc.)
is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In
this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the cam-
era lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.
■Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide line may not
actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide line and the left and
right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.

●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be fur-
ther away than they actually
are. In the same way, there
will be a margin of error
between the guide lines and
the actual distance/course on
the road.
● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be
closer than they actually are.
In the same way, there will be
a margin of error between
the guide lines and the actual
distance/course on the road.

●When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of
passengers or the distribu-
tion of the load, there is a
margin of error between the
fixed guide lines on the
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the vehi-
cle width guide line and distance guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed
of a truck), be careful of the following.
● Vehicle width guide line
Visually check the surround-
ings and the area behind the
vehicle. In the case shown in
the illustration, the truck
appears to be outside of the
vehicle width guide line and
the vehicle does not look as if
it hits the truck. However, the
rear body of the truck may
actually cross over the vehi-
cle width guide line. In reality
if you back up as guided by
the vehicle width guide line,
the vehicle may hit the truck.

ings and the area behind the

monitor again once conditions have
been improved.)
The image on the rear view monitor
system screen can be adjusted,
refer to the “Navigation and
multimedia system Owner’s
