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.

  1. Object

  2. Variance

  3. Object on screen

When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle

When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed on the screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.

  1. Appears farther than actual distance

  2. Appears closer than actual distance

  3. Distance between the vehicle and object displayed on the screen.

  4. Actual distance between the vehicle and object.

  5. Object at actual position

  6. Object on screen

Three-dimensional object on vehicle rear

Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a flat surface, the distance to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is different from the actual distance.

  1. (Screen display)

  2. (Actual condition)

  3. Sensed distance on screen A>B>C

  4. Actual distance B>C=A
