Using the Surround View Camera System

Checking for the Sides of Your Vehicle

You can display the front ground view screen using all the four cameras for the system. Pressing the CAMERA button when the vehicle speed is at below 12 mph (20 km/h) changes the image as follows.

Detail
When the vehicle speed exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h), the front or side view on the screen automatically switches to the audio/information screen. The front or side view screen resumes when the vehicle speed is reduced below 12 mph (20 km/h).

Checking from the front wide view at intersections

The front wide view screen is useful when you need to check for vehicles crossing from either direction at an intersection with poor visibility.

Detail
The front wide view image is a wide-angled view. The displayed image will be largely distorted, and objects may appear closer or more distant than they actually are.

Checking the sides of your vehicle

The side view screens are convenient when you pull over at a curb or tollbooth, or slowly pass by oncoming vehicles on a narrow road.

Detail
When the door mirrors are folded, the side views cannot be displayed.

Checking for Obstacles at the Back of Your Vehicle

The display automatically changes to the rear view when the shift position is changed to R.

Detail
The ground view can be displayed even with the door mirrors folded. However, the viewable angle and blind spot change.
Do not refer to the surround view camera system when the door mirrors are folded.


When changing the gear position from/to R, you may experience a delay in switching between the audio/information screen and a rear view image.
