8.2.1. How to park with predictive course lines

image
  • Always check that it is safe to park your car before reversing. Always reverse slowly.

  • Use the displayed lines as a reference. The lines are highly affected by the number of occupants, vehicle position, road condition and road grade.

  • If the tyres are replaced with different sized tyres, the predictive course line may not be displayed correctly.

  • On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the predictive course line and the actual course line.

  • If the battery is disconnected or becomes discharged, the predictive course lines may not be displayed correctly. If this occurs, perform the following procedures.

    • Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the READY to drive indicator light is ON.

    • Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.

  • When the steering wheel is turned with the power switch in the ACC position, the predictive course lines may be displayed incorrectly.

  • The distance guide line and the vehicle width guide line should be used as a reference only when the vehicle is on a level paved surface. The distance viewed on the monitor is for reference only and may be different than the actual distance between the vehicle and displayed objects.

  • When reversing the vehicle up a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are further than they appear. When reversing the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are closer than they appear. Use the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to properly judge distances to other objects.

The vehicle width and predictive course lines are wider than the actual width and course.
