Distance guidelines
The distance guides represent the ground level
distance from the rear bumper. It is difficult to
accurately estimate the distance to objects above
ground level.

<Positions of A, B and C>
about 1m
In the screen, according to the distance
guidelines, the truck seems to be parked
about 1 m away (at the position B). In actual
fact, however, if you reversed to position A,
you would collide with the truck.
In the screen, positions A, B and C seem to
be located in order of proximity. However,
in actual fact, the position A and C are the
same distance, and B is farther away than
positions A and C.
The car width extension mark represents the distance
to the road surface. The distance to an object on the
road is not accurately represented by the guides.
In the following conditions, screen visibility may be
impaired. This is not a malfunction.
When it is dark (at night, etc.).
Under very high or very low temperature
conditions.
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.

Error Between the Display and
Actual Road Surface
Under the following conditions, errors are
produced between the display guidelines and the
actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a
case when the camera is installed in the standard
position.)
When there is a steep upward
slope behind the car (example)

Error
The distance guidelines represents the
distance to a flat road surface. Therefore in
the case of an upward slope behind the car,
the distance guides are displayed closer to
the rear bumper than the actual distance.
For example, if there is an obstacle on the
upward slope, it may appear farther away
than its actual position.
Also, an error may occur between the
guidance and the actual path of the car on
the road surface.
