With Top View, the camera image around the joins 
or borders may not be displayed. For details, refer to 
“About Top View Blind Spots” (page 13).
Do not use Top View while retracting the door 
mirrors or when the vehicle doors are not completely 
closed, as the image will not be displayed properly.
For details of how to switch image patterns, refer to 
“Camera Operation” (page 14).
In the following conditions, screen visibility may be 
impaired. This is not a malfunction.

When it is dark (at night, etc.).
When the temperature around the camera lens is 
high or low.
When water drops adhere to the camera, or when 
the humidity is high (such as rainy weather, etc.).
When foreign bodies (such as mud, etc.) adhere to 
the camera or its peripheral area.
When sunlight or headlights directly strike the 
camera lens.

The image range will be affected by the height or 
inclination of the vehicle. The position indicated 
by the distance guidelines, actual distance from 
the road surface and distances from objects will 
vary, depending on factors such as number of 
passengers, load weight and suspension adjustments. 
In addition, joins in Top View images may not be 
properly aligned. Always visually check the actual 
conditions around the vehicle to ensure safety.

About the Rear Camera Image and 
Camera Guide

Rear Panorama View

Displays a wider-angled perspective of the area 
behind the vehicle.
Use this when you want to make a wide-sweeping 
check behind the vehicle. For example, when you 
are reversing out of a narrow street onto a main 
road where the oncoming traffic is hard to see.

Distance guidelines are not displayed.

*

Rear Mirror View

The triple-screen image displays the area on each 
side behind the vehicle.
Use this when you want to check the area on 
each side behind the vehicle. For example, when 
reversing into a garage, reversing onto a hard 
shoulder or pulling over to a kerb in reverse.
