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

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, the color of objects may be displayed on the screen in a color different from the actual one.

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, it may take a few seconds for the color of the screen display to adjust.

  • 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 screen area for each camera may appear bright/dark depending on the illumination level around any of the cameras.

The top view/rear wide view screen displays the image at the rear of the vehicle at a wide angle and corrects the image to help detect approaching obstructions from the side. Therefore, it differs from the actual view.

If the vehicle is on a slope, obstructions taken by the camera can appear farther or closer than the actual distance from the vehicle.
