Rear View Monitor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Small CCD* camera is installed at the back of the vehicle. The rear view monitor, which shows the rear view image of the vehicle on the display while driving in reverse, is adopted.
Vehicle width and approximate distance line from the rear end of the vehicle on the rear view image of the vehicle are developed. This helps a driver to easily judge distances between the vehicle and objects or width. Then, the predicted course line that indicates the vehicle course according to the steering angle is also generated to help the driver to back into a parking space.
*: Abbreviation of Charge Coupled Device. CCD can turn incident light from the lens into electrons and memorize the image like a photo.
