  • In the top view screen, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where each of the camera images merge are blind spots.

  • Because images displayed in the top view screen are processed from each camera, the top view screen may display in the following ways.

    • If an image containing an object with a conspicuous color is picked up by any of the cameras, the whole screen may be affected and it may display in that color.

    • Obstructions displayed in the front view may not display on the top view screen.

    • If the position or angle of each camera changes due to tilting of the vehicle, the image may appear distorted.

    • Lines on the road may appear distorted at the seams where each of the camera images merge.

    • The entire screen may appear bright/dark depending on the illumination level around any of the cameras.
