Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• The system is designed as an aid to

the driver in showing large station-
ary objects directly behind the ve-
hicle, to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle.

• The distance guide line and the ve-

hicle width line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on
a level paved surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor is for refer-
ence only and may be different than
the actual distance between the ve-
hicle and displayed objects.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.

The RearView Monitor system automati-
cally shows a rear view of the vehicle when
the shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse)
position. The radio can still be heard while
the RearView Monitor is active.

To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located just
above the vehicle’s license plate

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION

With the EV (electric vehicle) system on and
in “Ready to Drive”, move the shift lever to
the R (Reverse) position to operate the
RearView Monitor.

LINES

Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with refer-
ence to the vehicle body line

䊊

are dis-

played on the monitor.

Distance guide lines

Indicate distances from the vehicle body.

• Red line

䊊

: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)

• Yellow line

䊊

: approx. 3 ft (1 m )

• Green line

equipped)

Vehicle width guide lines

䊊

Indicate the vehicle width when backing
up.

Predicted course lines (models with
Navigation System)

䊊

Indicate the predicted course when back-
ing up. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the
steering wheel is turned. The predicted
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 predicted course lines are wider than
the actual width and course.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES

The displayed guidelines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or downhill
surfaces or projecting objects will be actu-
ally 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.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-
tions 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 cannot
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 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 refer-

ence. The lines are highly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road conditions
and road grade.

• Make sure that the rear hatch is se-

curely closed when backing up.

• Do not put anything on the rearview

camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled 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 pre-

cision instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage re-
sulting 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
actual color of objects.

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.

• Full screen rear view

The view to the rear of the vehicle (which
is a little wider than the standard rear
view).

To display the multiple views, the Intelligent
Around View Monitor system uses cam-
eras located in the front grille, on the vehi-
cle’s outside mirrors and one just above

WARNING

• The distance guide lines and the ve-

hicle 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 differ-

ent 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 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.

• 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 ac-
tual 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.

Birds-eye view:

The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle, which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predicted course
to a parking space. The vehicle icon

䊊

shows the position of the vehicle. Note that
the apparent distance between objects
viewed in the bird’s-eye view may differ
somewhat from the actual distance to the
vehicle.

The areas that the cameras cannot cover

䊊

are indicated in black.

After the EV system is placed in the ON
position, the non-viewable areas

䊊

are

highlighted in yellow for several seconds
after the bird’s-eye view is displayed. It will
be shown only the first time after the
power switch is placed in the ON position.

WARNING

• Objects in the bird’s-eye view will

appear further than the actual dis-
tance.

• Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,

may be misaligned or not displayed
at the seam of the views.

• Objects that are above the camera

cannot be displayed.

• The view for the bird’s-eye view may

be misaligned when the camera po-
sition alters.
