When Driving

Rear View Monitor

NOTE

Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated below, 

and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the rear of the vehicle 

and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.



  In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back end and 

distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not actually be 

aligned on the ground.



  When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, the 

division line and the vehicle width guide line appear aligned in the monitor, but they may 

not actually be aligned on the ground.

 Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image

Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in 

distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following conditions that may cause 

a variance in distance perspective.

When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load

When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the 

actual distance.
