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-dimen-
sional object that extends out-
ward (such as the flatbed of a
truck), be careful of the follow-
ing.

■
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.
