HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED LINES

Guiding lines that indicate the vehicle width and distances to objects with reference to the bumper line are displayed on the monitor.

Distance guidelines – :
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.

  • Red line : approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m) .
  • Yellow line: approximately 3 ft (1 m) .
  • Green line : approximately 7 ft (2 m)
  • Vehicle width guide lines :
    Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.

Predictive course lines :
Indicate the predictive course when backing up. The predictive course lines will be displayed on the monitor when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position and if the steering wheel is turned. The predictive course lines will move depending on how much the steering wheel is turned and will not be displayed while the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of the predictive course lines are wider than the actual width and course.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTIVE AND ACTUAL DISTANCES

The displayed guidelines and their locations on the ground are for approximate reference only. Objects on uphill or down-hill 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 positioning 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 farther than it appears on the monitor.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for RearView Monitor. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.

  • The system cannot completely eliminate blind spots and may not show every object.
  • Underneath the bumper and the corner areas of the bumper can not be viewed on the RearView Monitor 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 RearView Monitor differ from an actual distance because a wide-angle lens is used.
  • Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear 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 number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road conditions and road grade.
  • Make sure that the liftgate is securely closed when backing up.
  • Do not put anything on the rear-view 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.
