Operation Description
- The around view monitor operates by pressing the CAMERA switch on the multifunction switch or by shifting the shift lever switch to the R (reverse) position.
- When the shift lever switch is in any position other than R (reverse) and the CAMERA switch is pressed, the screen displays front travel direction view and birds-eye view. Pressing the CAMERA switch again changes birds-eye view to front-side view
- When the shift lever switch is placed in R (reverse), the screen displays rear travel direction view and birds-eye view. Pressing the CAMERA switch changes birds-eye view to front-side view
- In birds-eye view, the blind spot area is displayed in black to show the border of the camera images. In addition, red fixed lines are displayed in the 4 corners of the vehicle icon. After pressing the CAMERA switch for the first time or placing the shift lever switch in R (reverse) for the first time, the blind spot area is highlighted in yellow for 3 seconds and the red fixed lines blink five times.
- With the shift lever switch in any position other than R (reverse), the around view monitor screen display is canceled 3 minutes after pressing the CAMERA switch. The screen returns to the display unit display.
- With the shift lever switch in R (reverse) position, the around view monitor screen display remains on constantly. To return to the display unit display, place the shift lever switch in any position other than R (reverse).
- If camera image calibration is incomplete, the applicable camera position is indicated as an error on the birds-eye view display.NOTE: Calibration is necessary when replacing each camera or when replacing around view monitor control unit.
Front View
- The front view image improves the visibility of obstacles in front of the vehicle and assists driving by displaying images from birds-eye view and front-side view.
- The front view image displays the vehicle width guiding line and vehicle distance guiding line, in addition to the predictive course line according to the steering angle.
- If the steering angle is within approximately 90 degrees, the predictive course lines on the left/right side are displayed. If the steering angle exceeds approximately 90 degrees, only the predictive course line on the outside is displayed (opposite side of steering direction).
- The around view monitor control unit receives the steering angle signal from steering angle sensor via CAN communication, and controls the direction and distance of the predictive course line.
- ON/OFF setting of predictive course line can be performed using CONSULT.
Rear View
- The rear view image improves the visibility of obstacles in the rear of the vehicle and assists backing and parking by displaying images from birds-eye view and front side view.
- The rear view image displays the vehicle width guiding line and vehicle distance guiding line, in addition to the predictive course line according to the steering angle.NOTE: The predictive course line is not displayed at the steering neutral position.
- The around view monitor control unit receives the steering angle signal from steering angle sensor via CAN communication, and controls the direction and distance of the predictive course line.
- ON/OFF setting of predictive course line can be performed using CONSULT.
Front-side View
- The front-side view image improves the visibility of obstacles on the front RH side of the vehicle and assists backing and parking.
- The front-side view image displays the vehicle distance guiding line and vehicle width guiding line.
Birds-Eye View
- The birds-eye view image improves the visibility of obstacles all around the vehicle and assists backing and parking.
- The images from the four cameras are converted into an overhead view, and the surroundings of the vehicle are displayed.
- The blind spot area is displayed on the image to specify the boundary of the four cameras.
Moving Object Detection (MOD)
- Moving Object Detection (MOD) is a function that notifies the driver of the presence of moving objects in the area around the vehicle. MOD detects moving objects from camera image and illuminates frame of view in yellow whenever "MOD" icon is displayed in blue.
- Around view monitor control unit superimposes yellow frame line on camera image signal and outputs it to display unit display when moving objects are detected.
- Around view monitor control unit detects moving objects from camera image according to an image recognition method called optical flow.
- MOD does not detect a background as a moving object when the vehicle moves (when whole screen moves) but detects a moving object when an actual moving object is displayed on screen.
- Color of "MOD" icon indicates whether or not MOD is operative. "MOD" icon is displayed as shown in the following table. When MOD is operative, "MOD" icon is displayed in blue. When MOD is not operative, "MOD" icon is displayed in gray.
