: If equipped
The parking assist monitor assists
the driver by displaying an image of
the view behind the vehicle while
backing up, for example while park-
ing.
When the display is changed to the
wide rear view mode, a wider lat-
eral view behind the vehicle will be
displayed.
The screen illustrations used in this text
●
are intended as examples, and may differ
from the image that is actually displayed
on the screen.
Driving precautions
The parking assist monitor is a supple-
mental device intended to assist the
driver when backing up. When back-
ing up, be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly and
using the mirrors before proceeding. If
you do not, you may hit another vehi-
cle, and could possibly cause an acci-
dent.
Pay attention to the following precau-
tions when using the parking assist
monitor.
WARNING
Never depend on the parking assist
●
monitor entirely when backing up. The
image and the position of the guide
lines displayed on the screen may dif-
fer from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
● Be sure to back up slowly, depressing
the brake pedal to control vehicle
speed.
● If you seem likely to hit nearby vehicles,
obstacles, people or mount the shoul-
der, depress the brake pedal to stop
the vehicle.
The instructions given are only guide-
●
lines. When and how much to turn the
steering wheel will vary according to
traffic conditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc. when
parking. It is necessary to be fully
aware of this before using the parking
assist system.
When parking, be sure to check that
●
the parking space will accommodate
your vehicle before maneuvering into
it.
● Do not use the parking assist monitor
in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in
snow
• When using tire chains or emergency
tires
• When the back door is not closed
completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight,
such as curves or slopes
• If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size other than specified are
installed
