  These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the 

vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).

 The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for the red line and 

100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each 

of the lines).

of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the 

surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.

 Rear View Monitor Operation

the traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies 

depending on conditions, so confirm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and 

steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.

Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.

NOTE

Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images 

(mirror images).
