Panoramic view monitor*

Panoramic view monitor^*

If equipped

Panoramic view monitor assists the driver in viewing the surroundings, when operating at low speeds, by combining the front, side and rear cameras and displaying a complete vehicle overhead image on the screen.

When you press the camera switch or shift the shift lever to R while the engine switch is in ON, the panoramic view monitor operates.

The monitor displays various views of the position and surroundings of the vehicle.

Note:

The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples, and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the screen.

Panoramic view monitor Driving precautions Driving precautions

The panoramic view monitor is a supplemental device intended to assist the driver when checking around the vehicle. When using, be sure to visually check all around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before proceeding. If you do not, you may hit another vehicle or possibly cause an accident.

Pay attention to the following precautions when using the panoramic view monitor.

Warning:

Never depend on the panoramic view monitor entirely. The image and the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may differ from the actual state. Use caution just as you would when driving any other vehicle.

Always make sure to check all around the vehicle with your own eyes when driving.

Never drive while looking only at the screen as the image on the screen is different from actual conditions. If you are driving while looking only at the screen, you may hit a person or an object, resulting in an accident. When driving, be sure to check the vehicle’s surroundings with your own eyes and the vehicle’s mirrors.

Depending on the circumstances of the vehicle (number of passengers, amount of luggage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may change. Be sure to check visually around the vehicle before proceeding.

Do not use the panoramic view monitor system in the following cases:

On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow

When using tire chains or emergency tires

When the front doors or the tailgate is not closed completely

On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes

If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified are installed

In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to see the image on the screen. Be sure to visually check all around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before proceeding.

If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may change.

The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual distances. (Difference between the screen and the actual road)

When an aftermarket part is installed in the display area of the screen.

Notice:

In panoramic view/moving view/see-through view, the system combines images taken from the front, back, left and right side cameras into a single image. There are limits to the range and content that can be displayed. Familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the panoramic view monitor system before using it.

Image clarity may decline at the four corners of the panoramic view/moving view/see-through view. However, this is not a malfunction, as these are the regions along the border of each camera image where the images are combined.

Depending on lighting conditions near each cameras, the panoramic view may show different colors for each camera area.

The panoramic view/moving view/see-through view display does not extend higher than the installation position and image capture range of each camera.

There are blind spots around the vehicle. Accordingly, there are regions not displayed in panoramic view.

Three-dimensional objects displayed in wide front view, rear view or side view may not be displayed in panoramic view/moving view/see-through view.

People and other three-dimensional obstacles may appear differently when displayed on the panoramic view monitor. (These differences include, among others, cases in which displayed objects appear to have fallen over, disappear near image processing areas, appear from image processing areas, or when the actual distance to an object differs from the displayed position.)

When the tailgate, which is equipped with the back camera, or front doors, which are equipped with door mirrors that have built-in side cameras, are open, images will not be displayed properly on the panoramic view monitor.

When the outer mirrors are not positioned in normal position, images will not be displayed properly on the panoramic view monitor.

The vehicle icon displayed in panoramic view/moving view/see-through view is a computer generated image. Accordingly, properties such as the color, shape and size will differ from the actual vehicle. For this reason, nearby three-dimensional objects may appear to be touching the vehicle, and actual distances to three-dimensional objects may differ from those displayed.

Area displayed on screen

Area of image of panoramic view

The panoramic view monitor displays an image of the surrounding view of the vehicle.

Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if there is room between the bumpers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the image, in reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.

Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

Objects located in the shaded areas will not be displayed on the screen.

Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be displayed on the screen.

Note:

As the images obtained from four cameras are processed and displayed on the standard of a flat road surface; the panoramic view/moving view/see through view may be displayed as follows.

Objects may look collapsed; thinner or bigger than usual.

An object with a higher position than the road surface may look farther away than it actually is or may not appear at all.

Tall objects may appear protruding from the non-displayed areas of the image.

Variations in the brightness of the image may appear for every camera.

The displayed image may be shifted by inclination of the vehicle body, change in vehicle height, etc., depending on the number of passengers, amount of luggage, fuel quantity, etc.

If the front doors or tailgate are not completely closed; neither the image nor the guide lines are displayed.

The position relations of the vehicle icon and the road surface or obstacle may differ from the actual positions.

The black areas of the vicinity of the vehicle icon are areas that are not captured by the camera.

Images like the following are combined, thus some areas may be difficult to view.

Warning:

Bed view

Note:

The area covered by the camera is limited. Objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper cannot be seen on the screen.

The area displayed on the screen may vary depending on vehicle orientation or road conditions.

The camera uses a special lens. The distance in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual distance.

In the rear split view, there is a blind spot due to the size (length and height) of the trailer.

In the hitch zoom view, if a backlit license plate is equipped it may be reflected in the screen.

In the bed zoom view, the section near the cabin is a blind spot.

Using the camera

If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.

Notice:

The panoramic view monitor may not operate properly in the following cases.

If the camera is hit, the position and mounting angle of the camera may change.

As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.

When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity of water and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera lens may cause the camera lens to be scratched and unable to transmit a clear image.

Do not allow an organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a glass coating to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.

If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.

When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.

Do not expose the camera to strong impacts as this could cause a malfunction. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

Difference between the screen and the actual road

The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.

The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.

The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.

When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply

The distance guidelines are projected on a horizontal surface, distances on an upward sloping surface appear farther from the vehicle than the actual distance. Because of this, objects will appear to be farther away than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guidelines and the actual distance/course on the road.

When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply

The distance guidelines are projected on a horizontal surface, distances on an downward sloping surface appear closer to the vehicle than the actual distance. Because of this, objects will appear to be closer than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guidelines and the actual distance/course on the road.

When any part of the vehicle sags

When the vehicle posture tilts due to the number of passengers or the distribution of the load, there is a margin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.

A margin of error

Distortion of three-dimensional objects on the screen

When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) nearby in positions higher than the surface of the road, take extra care when using the following.

Panoramic view display (including magnified display)

Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. For example, even though it appears that there is space between the bumpers of the two vehicles in the illustration below and they are not likely to collide, in reality, a collision is about to occur.

Warning:

When approaching three-dimensional objects

The estimated course lines target flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the estimated course lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.

Warning:

Estimated course lines

Since the estimated course line is displayed for a flat road surface, it cannot depict the position of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if the bumpers of the vehicle is on the outside of the estimated course line in the image, in reality, the vehicles are on a collision course.

Estimated course line

Three-dimensional objects (such as the overhang of a wall or loading platform of a truck) in high positions may not be projected on the screen. Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

The pillar that is diagonal to the parking spot may be displayed perpendicular on the screen. Even if it seems like there will not be a collision, the pillar is diagonal, so there may be collision with the upper part of the pillar.

Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the estimated course lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over the estimated course lines. In reality if you back up as guided by the estimated course lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.

Estimated course lines

Distance guide lines

Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. On the screen, it appears that a truck is parking at point . However, in reality if you back up to point , you will hit the truck. On the screen, it appears that is closest and is farthest away. However, in reality, the distance to and is the same, and is farther than and .
