Estimated course lines
Since the estimated course line is dis-
played for a flat road surface, it cannot
depict the position of three-dimen-
sional objects (such as vehicle bum-
pers, etc.) that are in positions higher
than the surface of the road. Even if the
bumpers of the vehicle is on the out-
side of the estimated course line in the
image, in reality, the vehicles are on a
collision course.

Three-dimensional objects (such as the
overhang of a wall or loading platform
of a truck) in high positions may not be
projected on the screen. Check the
safety of the surroundings directly.
7-2. Panoramic view monitor
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. In the case
shown below, the truck appears to be
outside of the estimated course 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
estimated course lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the estimated
course lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.
