When approaching three-
dimensional objects
The estimated course lines target
flat surfaced objects (such as the
road). It is not possible to determine
the position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using the
estimated course lines and dis-
tance guide lines. When approach-
ing a three-dimensional object that
extends outward (such as the flat-
bed of a truck), be careful of the fol-
lowing.
■ Estimated course lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck
appears to be outside of the esti-
mated 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 esti-
mated course lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the estimated
course lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.

■ Distance guide lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle. On
the screen, it appears that a truck is
parking at point B . However, in
reality if you back up to point
you will hit the truck. On the screen,
A
it appears that is closest and
C
is farthest away. However, in
reality, the distance to
B
is the same, and is farther than
A and C .
