Viewing the Display

Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle are displayed on the screen as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking space you are about to back into.

Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.

  1. Vehicle width guide lines

    Guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.

  2. Distance guide lines

    These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).

    The red line indicates the point about 0.5 m (19 in) from the rear bumper.

    The yellow lines indicate the points about 1.0 m (39 in) and 2.0 m (78 in) from the rear bumper.

 

The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.
