The camera image displays guiding lines that provide information on the distance and direction of travel of your vehicle, as well as information on any vehicles you are approaching.
CAUTION
. When you drive the vehicle, do not rely only on the guiding lines. Make sure that you check your surroundings directly.
. The position and other information provided by the guiding lines may differ from the actual distance of objects from the vehicle if it is tilting at an angle relative to the road surface due to the number of passengers or the distribution of cargo on board the vehicle.
NOTE
. Top view and rear view only: The display of the predicted course line linked to the steering angle can be turned on / off by operating“ Steering Angle Lines” in the center information display. To turn the function on and off, refer to“ Settings icon( General settings)” FP238.
. The camera image may be hard to see in the following situations. This is not a malfunction.
– Vehicle surroundings are dark
( such as at night). – Ambient temperature outside the
vehicle is high or low. – There is water or humidity on the
lens( such as in rainy weather). – There is foreign material( such as
mud) on or near the camera. – Sunlight or a headlight beam
shines directly shines toward the camera lens.
. Under an artificial light such as a fluorescent lamp, sodium-vapor lamp or mercury lamp, the lighted portion may appear to flicker( flicker phenomenon).
. When the display is cold, the image may leave traces or become darker than usual, causing a difficulty in viewing the screen. When driving your vehicle, make sure that you check your surroundings directly for traffic.
. The following conditions may affect the appearance of the screen, but any resulting image distortion on the screen does not indicate a malfunction.
– When humidity is high on a rainy day, the camera lens becomes
foggy. – When driving at night, the light from
a vehicle or building located ahead shines in the direction of the
camera. – When the vehicle is in a dark place
or when driving at night, the camera image may be adjusted to make image noise less visible. Therefore, the image may look like a monochromatic image or the image colors may differ from the actual colors. The image sharpness in the center and in the four corners of the screen may differ. This is not a malfunction.
