•

Objects in the RearView Monitor will ap-
pear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.

•

Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road conditions and road grade.

•

Make sure that the liftgate is securely
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. 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
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion 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 display
objects.

• 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 ac-
tual color of objects.

• Objects on the monitor may not be clear in

a dark environment.

• There may be a delay when switching be-

tween views.

• If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the cam-

era, the RearView Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera.

• Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe

off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.

WARNING

•

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.

•

The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience feature and is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in particu-
lar, are areas where objects do not al-
ways appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or
rear views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always op-
erate the vehicle slowly.

•

The driver is always responsible for
safety

during

parking

and

other

maneuvers.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when clean-
ing dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.

The Around View® Monitor system is de-
signed 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.
Not all views are available at all times.

Available views:

• 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.

• 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-Wide View

An approximately 180–degree view of the
front the vehicle.

• Rear-Wide View

An approximately 180–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.

To display the multiple views, the Around
View® Monitor system uses cameras located
in the front grille, on the vehicle’s outside
mirrors and one just above the vehicle’s li-
cense plate

When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view in the display, a red icon will
flash on the upper display. This indicates that
the sonar system is activated. For additional
information on the front and rear sonar sys-
tem, see “Front and rear sonar system”
(P. 5-160).

Available views

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 apparent distance viewed
on the monitor 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, cargo, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condition
and road grade.

•

If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted 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 further than
they appear. When driving the vehicle
down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are closer than they appear.

•

Objects in the rear view will appear visu-
ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the monitor and outside mirrors.

•

Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.

•

On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.

•

The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

•

The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES

The displayed guidelines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in
the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or
park and exit the vehicle to view the position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.

Backing up on a steep uphill

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the upper display.

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. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the upper display.

The system gives the tone for front objects
when the shift lever is in the “D” (Drive) posi-
tion and both front and rear objects when the
shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position.

When the camera image is shown on the
upper display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shift lever position.

The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.

The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-wide,
rear, and rear-wide views indicate different
distances to the object.

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 sec-
onds 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.
