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 dis-
tance 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 af-
fected by the number of occupants,
fuel level, vehicle position, road con-
dition 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,
objects viewed in the monitor are
farther than they appear. When driv-
ing the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear.

.

Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite compared to when

viewed in the rear view 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 lines 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 rearview camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.

a parking space.
The vehicle icon

shows 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
are indicated in black.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the unviewable area

is high-

lighted in yellow for a few seconds after the
bird’s-eye view is displayed.

Predictive course lines (

and

) indicate the

predictive course when operating the vehi-
cle. The predictive course lines (

Difference between predicted and
actual distances

The displayed guide lines 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 guide lines
(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 positioning of objects behind the
vehicle.

WAE0286X

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
farther than it appears on the monitor.

WAE0287X

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 monitor.

WAE0288X

Backing up near a projecting object:

The predictive course lines

do not touch

the object in the display. However, the
vehicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual backing up course.

How to park with predictive course
lines

WARNING

.

If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
may not be displayed correctly.

.

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

.

If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform
the following procedures:

— Turn the steering wheel from lock

to lock while the engine is running.

— Drive the vehicle on a straight

road for more than 5 minutes.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the sonar
function as outlined in this section could
result in serious injury or death.

.

The sonar is a convenience feature. It
is not a substitute for proper parking.

.

This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.

.

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 as contained in this
section.

The sonar function helps to inform the driver
of large stationary objects around the
vehicle when parking by issuing an audible
and visual alert.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR FUNCTION

4-18

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION

The system gives the tone for front objects
when the shift lever is in the D (Drive)
position 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 posi-
tion.
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
seconds when an object is detected by only
the sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no

longer near the vehicle.
