When approaching three-
dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are dis-
played according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is not
possible to determine the position
of three-dimensional objects (such
as vehicles) using the vehicle width
guide lines and distance guide
lines. When approaching a three-
dimensional object that extends
outward (such as the flatbed of a
truck), be careful of the following.
■
Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck
appears to be outside of the vehicle
width guide lines and the vehicle
does not look as if it hits the truck.
However, the rear body of the truck
may actually cross over the vehicle
width guide lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the vehicle
width guide lines, the vehicle may
hit the truck.
