A Camera

When the shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse)

position, the monitor display shows the view to the

rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in

detecting large stationary objects to help avoid dam-

aging the vehicle. The system will not detect small

objects below the bumper and may not detect ob-

jects close to the bumper or on the ground.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions

for proper use of the reversing camera could re-

sult in serious injury or death.

•

The reversing camera is a convenience but it

is not a substitute for proper reversing. Al-

ways turn and look out the windows, and

check mirrors to be sure that it is safe to move

before operating the vehicle. Always reverse

slowly.

•

The system is designed as an aid to the driver

in showing large stationary objects directly

behind the vehicle, to help avoid damaging

the vehicle.

•

The system cannot completely eliminate blind

spots and may not show every object.

•

Underneath the bumper and the corner areas

of the bumper cannot be viewed on the re-

versing camera 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 reversing camera differ

from actual distance because a wide-angle

lens is used.

•

Objects in the reversing camera will appear

visually opposite than when viewed in the rear

view and outside mirrors

•

Make sure that the tailgate is securely closed

when reversing.

•

Do not put anything on the reversing camera.

The reversing camera is installed at the top of

the tailgate.

•

When washing the vehicle with high pressure

water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-

era. Otherwise, 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 in-

strument. Otherwise, it may 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 lens.

viewed on the monitor is for reference only and may

be different than the actual distance between the

vehicle and displayed objects.

Reversing on a steep uphill

When reversing the vehicle up a hill, the distance

guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines are

shown closer than the actual distance. For example,

the display shows 1 m (3 ft) to the place

j

A , but the

actual 1 m (3 ft) distance on the hill is the place

j

B . Note that any object on the hill is viewed in the

monitor further than it appears.

a tall object near the seam of the camera viewing

areas will not appear in the monitor

➁

.

WARNING

•

The 360° Camera is intended for day time use.

Do not use the system in bad light conditions.

•

The 360° Camera is a convenience feature. It

is not a substitute for proper vehicle opera-

tion because it has areas where objects can-

not be viewed. The four corners of the vehicle

in particular, are blind spots where objects do

not appear in the bird’s-eye, front or rear

views. 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 manoeuvres.

•

Do not use the 360° Camera with the outside

mirror in the stored position, and make sure

that the tailgate is securely closed when op-

erating the vehicle using the 360° Camera.

•

The distance between objects viewed on the

360° Camera differs from the actual distance.

•

The cameras are installed on the front grille,

the outside mirrors and above the rear num-

ber plate. Do not put anything on the cam-

eras.

•

When washing the vehicle with high-pressure

water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-

eras. Otherwise, water may enter the camera

unit causing water condensation on the lens,

a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.

GUIDE LINES

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 is for refer-

ence only and may be different than the ac-

tual distance between the vehicle and dis-

played 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 position, road

condition and road grade.

•

If the tyres are replaced with different sized

tyres, the predictive course line and the bird’s-

eye view may be displayed incorrectly.

•

When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects

viewed in the monitor are further than they

appear. When driving the vehicle down a hill,

objects viewed in the monitor are closer than

they appear. Use the mirrors or actually look

to properly judge distances to other objects.

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

distances to objects with reference to the vehicle

how much the steering wheel is turned and will not

be displayed while the steering wheel is in the neu-

tral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle

speed is above 10 km/h (6 MPH).

WARNING

•

The distance between objects viewed in the

rear view differs from actual distance because

a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the rear

view will appear visually opposite than when

viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors.

•

On a snow-covered or slippery road, there

may be a difference between the predictive

course line and the actual course line.

•

The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-

pear slightly off to the right because the rear

view camera is not installed in the rear centre

of the vehicle.

NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the

steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less

from the neutral position, both the right and left

predictive course lines

➅

are 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

WARNING

•

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear fur-

ther than the actual distance because the

bird’s-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-

cessed by combining the views from the cam-

eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the

rear of the vehicle.

•

Tall objects, such as a kerb or a 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 mis-

aligned 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.

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

➀

shows the position of the ve-

hicle.
NOTE
The size of the vehicle icon on the bird’s-eye

view may differ somewhat from the actual ve-

hicle.
At first operation, the blind spot corner lines

➁

on

all four corners of the vehicle icon are blinking yel-

low for about 3 seconds. The four corners

➂

of the

vehicle are displayed in red.
NOTE

•

The areas that the cameras cannot cover are

indicated in black.

•

Blind spot corner lines
