Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending on 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.
Predicted vehicle path assist lines display type
The following shows an example of vehicle parking in which the steering wheel is turned to the right when backing up the vehicle. The operation is reversed when backing up the vehicle from the opposite direction.
-
Shift the shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) to reverse (R) to switch the display to the rear view monitor display.
-
Before backing the vehicle into the parking space, turn the steering wheel while referring to the projected vehicle path display so that the vehicle enters the centre of the parking space.
-
After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing up slowly so that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and right are roughly equal.
-
Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.
-
Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slowly into the parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in the best possible position. (If the parking space has division lines, check whether the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to them.)
-
When the shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted from reverse (R) to another shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) position, the screen returns to the previous display.
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.
Fixed assist lines display type
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images (mirror images).
-
Shift the shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) to reverse (R) to switch the display to the rear view monitor display.
-
Confirming the surrounding conditions, reverse the vehicle.
-
After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing up slowly so that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and right are roughly equal.
-
Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.
-
Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slowly into the parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in the best possible position. (If the parking space has division lines, check whether the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to them.)

When the shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted from reverse (R) to another shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) position, the screen returns to the previous display.
