Driving precautions
WARNING
● Never depend on the panoramic view
monitor entirely. The image and the
position of the guide lines displayed on
the screen may differ from the actual
state. Use caution just as you would
when driving any other vehicle.
● Always make sure to check all around
the vehicle with your own eyes when
driving.
● Never drive while looking only at the
screen as the image on the screen is
different from actual conditions. If you
are driving while looking only at the
screen, you may hit a person or an
object, resulting in an accident. When
driving, be sure to check the vehicle’s
surroundings with your own eyes and
the vehicle’s mirrors.
● Depending on the circumstances of
the vehicle (number of passengers,
amount of luggage, etc.), the position
of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to check
visually around the vehicle before pro-
ceeding.
● Do not use the panoramic view moni-
tor system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in
snow
• When using tire chains or emergency
tires
• When the front door or the back door
is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight,
such as curves or slopes
• If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size other than specified are
installed
