Use this when reversing into a garage or when checking for objects behind the vehicle. · Rear View: Refer to "Rear View" (page 9). · Top View synthesises images from four cameras and displays the combined view on the monitor. As the sensitivity of each camera is individually adjusted to the optimal degree, the image on the monitor may appear rather unnatural (brightness, tint, etc. ). · With Top View, the camera image around the joins · · · or borders may not be displayed. For details, refer to "About Top View Blind Spots" (page 13). Do not use Top View while retracting the door mirrors or when the vehicle doors are not completely closed, as the image will not be displayed properly. For details of how to switch image patterns, refer to "Camera Operation" (page 14). The image in the display is reversed, as you would see through the rearview mirror. As the camera uses a wide-angle lens, there is a difference between the actual distance and what appears on the screen. ­ In the dark (nighttime, etc. ) ­ The temperature near the lens is high or low. ­ The camera has water droplets on it or the humidity is high (rainy day, etc. ). ­ Sun light or the light of a headlamp directly enters the camera lens. The image range will be affected by the height or inclination of the vehicle. The position indicated by the distance guidelines, actual distance from the road surface and distances from objects will vary, depending on factors such as number of passengers, load weight and suspension adjustments. Always visually check the actual conditions around the vehicle to ensure safety. p Indication mark meaning E Car width extension marks (orange, yellow and green in order of distance) If properly calibrated, the marks indicate the car's width.
