Rear View Monitor

Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following conditions that may cause a variance in distance perspective.

When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load

When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the actual distance.

1. Object

2. Variance

3. Object on screen

When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle

When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed on the screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.

1. Appears farther than actual distance

2. Appears closer than actual distance

3. Distance between the vehicle and object displayed on the screen.

4. Actual distance between the vehicle and object.

5. Object at actual position

6. Object on screen

Three-dimensional object on vehicle rear

Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a flat surface, the distance to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is different from the actual distance.

2. (Actual condition)

3. Sensed distance on screen A>B>C

4. Actual distance B>C=A

(Predicted vehicle path assist lines display type)

When reversing near a three-dimensional object

When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if the anticipated course line does not contact the object on the screen. The position of the object displayed on the screen is different from the actual position because the anticipated course lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road surface. When backing up near an overhanging object, confirm the rear and surrounding conditions directly with your eyes.
