Introduction
For your information
Multimedia owner’s manual
● This manual describes the operation of the multimedia system.
Please read this manual and the vehicle "OWNER’S MANUAL"
carefully to ensure proper use.
● Please be aware that the content of this manual may be different
from the system in some cases, such as due to software updates
and changes to specifications.
● This manual contains information related to system software
Ver.2225 and earlier. For the latest information, refer to the follow-
ing URL. Before using this system, be sure to read the information
relating to the latest software version. For details of the current
software version, see “Updating and checking the software infor-
mation”(→ P.76).
Depending on the country or area, the software update service
may not be available.

● The screens shown in this manual may differ from the actual
screen of the system depending on availability of functions, sub-
scription status, and map data available at the time this manual
was produced.
● The company names and products listed in this manual are trade-
marks and/or registered trademarks of their respective companies.
Disclaimer about data compensation
This system saves data onto the internal memory. Data saved in the
memory may become corrupted or lost due to system failure, repair,
malfunction, bugs, or other causes.
Please note that SUBARU CORPORATION takes no responsibility
whatsoever for direct and/or indirect damage, and offers no compen-

Removal of the 12-volt battery
When the power switch is turned off, all data is saved in the system.
If the 12-volt battery terminal is removed before the data is saved,
the data may not be saved correctly.

Safety instructions
To use this system in the safest possible manner, follow all the
safety tips shown below.
This system is intended to assist in reaching the destination and,
if used properly, can do so. The driver is solely responsible for the
safe operation of the vehicle and the safety of your passengers.
Do not use any feature of this system to the extent it becomes a
distraction and prevents safe driving. The first priority while driving
should always be the safe operation of the vehicle. While driving,
be sure to observe all traffic regulations. If a traffic sign on the
road has been changed, route guidance may not have the updated
information such as the direction of a one way street.
While driving, listen to the voice instructions as much as possible
and glance at the screen briefly and only when it is safe. However,
do not totally rely on voice guidance. Use it just for reference. If the
system cannot determine the current position correctly, there is a
possibility of incorrect or delayed guidance, or no voice guidance at
all.
The data in the system may occasionally be incomplete. Road con-
ditions, including driving restrictions (no left turns, street closures,
etc.) frequently change. Therefore, before following any instructions
from the system, look to see whether the instruction can be done
safely and legally.
This system cannot warn about such things as the safety of an
area, condition of streets, and availability of emergency services. If
unsure about the safety of an area, do not drive into it. Under no
circumstances is this system a substitute for the driver’s personal
judgement.
WARNING
● For safety, the driver should not operate the system while he/she is
driving. Insufficient attention to the road and traffic may cause an acci-
dent.
● While driving, be sure to obey the traffic regulations and maintain
awareness of the road conditions.

Precautions when using Bluetooth
®
devices
Pay special attention to the following information when using a Blue-
tooth
®
device on the multimedia system.
INFORMATION
● The vehicle uses Bluetooth
®
communications on the 2.4GHz frequency
band. Performance may vary depending on various factors.
● Simultaneous use of Wi-Fi
®
using the same 2.4GHz band wireless
communication as Bluetooth
®
could cause mutual interference.
● Mutual interference between Bluetooth
®
and Wi-Fi
®
could cause is-
sues such as garbled video, audio skipping, or reduced communication
speed. The effect of interference will be reduced if a Bluetooth
®
device
is connected. If a Bluetooth
®
device has been registered, connecting
with the registered device could improve this issue. (Check the status
icons to determine whether a Bluetooth
®
device is connected)
● Using a Bluetooth
®
cellular phone simultaneously with a wireless de-
vice could negatively affect communication for each.
● Connecting a Bluetooth
®
device via Bluetooth
®
will cause the battery of
the cellular phone to deplete rapidly.
● Bluetooth
®
connections will be disconnected during emergency calls.
Any disconnected Bluetooth
®
devices will be reconnected once the
emergency call is finished.
WARNING
● For safety, the driver should not operate the cellular phone itself while
driving when using hands-free calling.
● Stop the vehicle in a safe location prior to calling. If a call is received
while driving, be sure to drive safely and keep the call short.
NOTICE
● Do not use a Bluetooth
®
device near the multimedia system. Coming
too close could worsen sound quality or the connection.
● Do not leave a cellular phone inside the vehicle. The inside of the
vehicle can become hot, which could cause the cellular phone to mal-
function.

■ Users with pacemakers or other electrical medical devices
Observe the following precautions with regard to radio waves during
Bluetooth
®
communication.
WARNING
● Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroni-
zation therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators
should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and the
Bluetooth
®
antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such
devices.
● Before using Bluetooth
®
devices, users of any electrical medical device
other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should
consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its oper-
ation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have
unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
■ When used simultaneously with Bluetooth
®
audio
● The following behaviors will occur if a Bluetooth
®
-compatible de-
vice (cellular phone) is used hands-free and simultaneously with
Bluetooth
®
audio.
• The Bluetooth
®
connection of the cellular phone may be disconnected.
• There is possibility that background noise may exist during a hands-
free phone call.
• Hands-free call operation may lag.
● Audio may skip if the communication device selected for hands-
free calling is changed during Bluetooth
®
audio playback.
● The portable device connection may be disconnected when trans-
ferring contact data. It will be reconnected once transfer is com-
plete. (Reconnection may not be possible for some models)
● It may not be possible to make both a hands-free connection
and audio connection, even for cellular phones that support both
hands-free connections and audio connections.
● For a list of specific devices which operation has been confirmed
on this system, check with your SUBARU dealer or the following

■ Playback of MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/ALAC/Ogg Vorbis
When a USB flash drive storing MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/
ALAC/Ogg Vorbis files is connected, first all the files on the USB
flash drive are checked.
It is recommended that no files other than MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/
FLAC/ALAC/Ogg Vorbis files and no unnecessary folders are written
onto the USB flash drive. This ensures that the USB flash drive
check finishes quickly.

INFORMATION
Many types of encoder software, such as freeware, are available in the
market for MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/ALAC/Ogg Vorbis. Depending on
the encoder condition or file format, audio quality deterioration or noise at
playback start may occur, or playback may not be possible.
NOTICE
Do not add an incorrect extension to a file. Adding an extension to a file
that does not match the file contents may result in files being incorrectly
recognized and played. This will output a loud noise that may damage the
speakers.
Incorrect examples:
● Adding the ".mp3" extension to a file that is not MP3
● Adding the ".wma" extension to a file that is not WMA

Precautions when using hands-free calls
Precautions for hands-free calling
By connecting a Bluetooth
®
cellular phone that has been verified
with the system, the phone function can be used to make and
receive calls without operating the cellular phone directly. This is
known as hands-free calling.
A cellular phone must support the multimedia system specifications
in order to connect to the system. However, be aware that some
functions may be limited depending on the model of cellular phone.
Even while connected to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the hands-
free phone screen for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto may not be
displayed, depending on conditions.
INFORMATION
● Observe the following precautions when using the cellular phone with
the hands-free function.
• A cellular phone must be registered to the multimedia system and
connected with Bluetooth
®
before hands-free calling can be used. To
use hands-free calling, first register a cellular phone.
• Make sure the cellular phone is able to utilize the Bluetooth
®
func-
tion.
• If attempting to make or receive a call during Bluetooth
®
audio play-
back, the screen display and dial tone or ringtone sound may be
delayed.
● The multimedia system is not guaranteed to operate with all Bluetooth
®
devices.
The following issues may occur depending on the cellular phone mod-
el.
• When the power switch is operated during a hands-free call, the call
may be disconnected.
• The calling screen may not be displayed, or the call screen may be
displayed before the other party answers the phone.
• Even if numbers are entered using the numeric keypad on the call
screen, the tone signal may not be transmitted depending on the
cellular phone service provider.
• After dialing, it may be necessary to perform operations on the cellu-
lar phone.
● Hands-free calling may be unavailable in the following situations.
6-1. Precautions when using hands-free calls
186
• When outside of the calling area
• When outgoing calls are restricted, such as when the lines are con-
gested
• During emergency calls
• While contact data is being transferred from the cellular phone
• When dial lock is turned on for the cellular phone
• When the cellular phone is in use, such as when transmitting data
• When the cellular phone is malfunctioning
• When the cellular phone is not connected
• When the cellular phone has a low battery
• When the cellular phone is turned off
• When the settings prevent the cellular phone from being used for
hands-free calls
• When switching from data communication or contact transfer to
hands-free calling with the multimedia system. (While switching,
Bluetooth
®
connection status for the multimedia system will not be
displayed)
• When the cellular phone itself cannot be used for any other reason
● If hands-free calling and the Wi-Fi
®
function (Wi-Fi
®
or Wi-Fi
®
Hotspot)
are used simultaneously, the Bluetooth
®
connection of the cellular
phone may be disconnected.

● Exposure to radio frequency signals:The system installed in your vehi-
cle includes a low power radio transmitter and receiver. The system
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
● In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards pre-
viously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
• ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
• NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]
• ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]
● These standards are based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and in-
dustry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
● The system complies with the FCC guidelines in addition to those
standards.
● Contact with the SubaruConnect response center is dependent upon

Driving precautions
The SUBARU Parking Assist monitor is equipment that assists the
driver reverse the vehicle. Always make sure to visually check be-
hind you and your surroundings when reversing. If not, you may
collide with other vehicles or an unforeseen accident may occur. Fol-
low the below precautions when using the SUBARU Parking Assist
monitor.
WARNING
● Never reverse only looking at the screen. The images displayed on
the screen may differ to the actual situation. Hence, if only looking at
the screen when reversing, you may collide with another vehicle or
have an unforeseen accident. In particular, be careful not to collide with
vehicles parked nearby or other objects. Always make sure to use the
rear-view and side mirrors as well as visually check behind you and
your surroundings when reversing.
● Depress the brake pedal to adjust your speed and slowly reverse the
vehicle.
● If collision is likely with a nearby vehicle, obstacle, or person, or mount
the shoulder of the road, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
● The instructions given for the SUBARU Parking Assist monitor modes
are only guidelines. When and how much to turn the steering wheel
will vary according to traffic conditions, road surface conditions, vehicle
condition, and so on when parking. It is necessary to be fully aware of
this before using the SUBARU Parking Assist monitor.
● When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommo-
date your vehicle before reversing into it.
● Do not use the SUBARU Parking Assist monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emergency tires
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as hills or bends
• If the tires of a size other than specified by SUBARU are installed
• If the suspension has been modified
• If a non-SUBARU product is installed on the area displayed on the
screen
8-1. SUBARU Parking Assist monitor
238
WARNING
● In low external temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or
you may not be able to see the image on the screen, so always visually
check your surroundings while you are driving.
● If tire sizes are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on
the screen may be incorrect.
NOTICE
● The camera may not function correctly and the image may be dis-
played on the screen in the following manner:
• When the shift position is in "R", part or all of the screen may appear
black
• When the shift position is in "R", the screen may not change to the
camera image
• When a shift position other than "R" is selected, the image from the
camera may remain displayed
• The guide lines are not displayed on the camera image, and atten-
tion symbols and caution notices are displayed

Camera position
The SUBARU Parking Assist
monitor camera is in the locations
shown in the figure.
Cleaning the camera
If dirt or foreign matter, such as water droplets, snow, or mud, has
stuck to the camera, you will not be able to see the image clearly. If
that happens, splash the camera with a large amount of water and
then wipe the camera lens clean with a soft, damp cloth.
NOTICE
● The SUBARU Parking Assist monitor may stop functioning correctly.
Take note of the following items:
• Do not hit or apply a forceful impact on the camera. Doing so may
change the position and mounting angle of the camera.
• The camera is designed to be waterproof. Do not detach, disassem-
ble, or modify it.
• When washing the camera lens, splash the camera with a large
amount of water and then wipe the camera lens clean with a soft,
8-1. SUBARU Parking Assist monitor
241

NOTICE
damp cloth. Rubbing the camera lens forcibly may scratch the cam-
era lens and images may no longer be able to be seen clearly.
• The camera cover is made of resin. Do not allow an organic solvent,
car wax, window cleaner, or glass coating to adhere to the camera. If
this happens, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not pour hot water on the vehicle in cold weather or apply other
rapid changes of temperature.
• If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure car washer, do not
point the hose directly at the camera or camera area. Applying strong
water pressure may result in the camera malfunctioning.
● If the camera is hit, it may cause a camera malfunction. If this happens,
have the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Differences 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 show a distance guide for flat road surfa-
ces. Therefore, there is a margin of error between the guide lines
on the screen and the actual distance and course on the road.
8-1. SUBARU Parking Assist monitor
242
■ When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will ap-
pear to be closer to the vehicle
than the actual distance. Thus,
objects on up-slopes will appear
to be farther away than they ac-
tually are. In the same way, there
will be a margin of error between
the guidelines and the actual dis-
tance and course on the road.
■ When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will ap-
pear to be further from the vehi-
cle than the actual distance. Thus,
objects on down-slopes will ap-
pear to be closer than they actual-
ly are. In the same way, there will
be a margin of error between the
guidelines and the actual distance
and course on the road.

Parking assist system
■ When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle sags
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 and course on
the road.
A
Margin of error
■
Estimated course center line
As the guide lines are shown mid-
air near the rear bumper, there are
times that they may look like they
are off-center.
Differences between the screen and actual 3D objects
Since the estimated course lines and distance guide lines are dis-
played for a flat road surface, it is not possible to determine the
position of three-dimensional objects. When approaching a three-di-
mensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a
truck), take note of the following cautions.
8-1. SUBARU Parking Assist monitor
244
■ Estimated course lines
Make sure to visually check be-
hind you and your surroundings.
On the screen, a truck flatbed may
appear to be outside of the esti-
mated course lines and the vehi-
cle does not look as if it will collide
with the truck. However, the flat-
bed may actually cross over the
estimated course lines and if you
reverse as guided by the estimat-
ed course lines, the vehicle may
hit the truck.

■ Distance guide lines
Make sure to visually check be-
hind you and your surroundings.
On the screen, the distance guide
lines shows that a truck is park-
ing at point . However, in reali-
ty if you reverse to point , you
will collide with the truck. On the
screen, it appears that point

Precautions for the panoramic view monitor
Always make sure to visually check behind you and your surround-
ings while driving. If not, collision with other vehicles or an unfore-
seen accident may occur. Follow the below precautions when using
the panoramic view monitor.
WARNING
● Never depend on the panoramic view monitor entirely. Always make
sure to visually check behind you and your surroundings as you would
when driving any other vehicle. In particular, be careful not to collide
with vehicles parked nearby or other objects.
● Always make sure to visually check behind you and your surroundings
while you are driving.
● Never drive while looking only at the screen. The image on the screen
may be different to the actual conditions. Moreover, there is a limit to
the range of image that the camera can capture. Never turn or reverse
only looking at the screen. Doing so may result in a collision with
another vehicle or some other unforeseen accident. Be sure to visually
check the vehicle’s surroundings and use the vehicle’s rear-view and
side mirrors.
● The position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may change
due to factors such as number of passengers, load weight, and road
gradient. Always make sure to visually check behind you and your
surroundings while you are driving.
● Do not use the panoramic view monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emergency tires
• When the front door(s) or back door are not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat, such as hills
• If the tires of a size other than specified by SUBARU are installed
• If the suspension has been modified
• If a non-SUBARU product is installed on the area displayed on the
screen
● In low external temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or
you may not be able to see the image on the screen, so always visually
check your surroundings while you are driving.
8-2. Panoramic view monitor
276
WARNING
● If you replace your tires, the position of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may be incorrect.
NOTICE
● See-through view, moving view, panoramic view, side clearance view,
and cornering view produce an image that is a composite of images
captured by the front camera, rear camera, and side cameras. As there
is a limit to the displayable range and content, make sure you fully
understand the features of the panoramic view monitor before you use
it.
● The four corners of the see-through view, moving view, panoramic
view, side clearance view, and cornering view have a video composi-
tion processing region centered on borders of the cameras, and image
clarity may decline. However this is not a fault.
● Depending on lighting conditions near each camera, bright and dark
patches may appear on the see-through view, moving view, panoramic
view, side clearance view, and cornering view.
● See-through view, moving view, panoramic view, side clearance view,
and cornering view does not extend higher than the installation position
and image capture range of each camera.
● There are blind spots around the vehicle and as such there are regions
not displayed on the panoramic view monitor.
● Three-dimensional objects displayed in wide front view, rear view, wide
rear view or side view may not be displayed in see-through view, mov-
ing view, panoramic view, side clearance view, and cornering view.
● People and other three-dimensional obstacles may appear differently
when displayed on the panoramic view monitor. (These differences
include cases in which displayed objects appear to have fallen over,
disappear near image processing regions, appear from video composi-
tion processing areas, or when the actual distance to an object differs
from the displayed position.)
● When the back door, which is equipped with the rear camera, or front
doors, which are equipped with side mirrors that have the built-in side
cameras, are open, images will not be displayed properly on the panor-
amic view monitor.
● The vehicle icon displayed in see-through view, moving view, panoram-
ic view, side clearance view, and cornering view is a computer gener-
ated image, so the color, shape and size will differ from the actual

played on the screen in the following manner:
• When the shift position is in "R", part or all of the screen may appear
black
• When the shift position is in "R", the screen may not change to the

• Objects may look collapsed; thinner or bigger than usual.
• An object with a higher position than the road surface may look
further 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
due to lighting conditions.
● The displayed image may be misaligned due to inclination of the vehi-
cle body or change in vehicle height caused by the number of passen-
gers, and vehicle load.
● If the doors are not completely closed, the image and the guide lines

NOTICE
• The camera cover is made of resin. Do not allow an organic solvent,
car wax, window cleaner, or glass coating to adhere to the camera. If
this happens, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not pour hot water on the vehicle in cold weather or apply other
rapid changes of temperature.
• If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure car washer, do not
point the hose directly at the camera or camera area. Applying strong
water pressure may result in the camera malfunctioning.
● If the camera is hit, it may cause a camera malfunction. If this happens,
have the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Parking assist lights
The parking assist lights of the
panoramic view monitor system
are installed in the locations
shown in the figure.
NOTICE
● Make sure to observe the following precautions, otherwise the panor-
amic view monitor system may not operate correctly:
• Do not apply excessive force to a light or subject it to a strong
impact. Doing so may cause the position or installation angle of the
light to deviate.
• Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the lights as they have a
waterproof construction.
• When cleaning the lights, wash them with a large amount of water,
and then wipe them with a soft wet cloth.
• Do not apply organic solvents, waxes, oil removing solvents, glass
coatings, etc. to the covers of the lights, as they are made of resin. If
such is applied, remove it immediately.

NOTICE
• Do not expose the lights to sudden temperature changes, such as
applying hot water to them when it is cold.
• When washing the vehicle with a high-pressure washer, do not spray
water directly on the lights or their surrounding area. High-pressure
water can damage the lights and cause them to not operate correctly.
● If a light has been subjected to a strong impact, it may be damaged.
Have the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Differences between the screen and the actual road
The composite images on the panoramic view monitor and guide
lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. Therefore, there
is a margin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the
actual distance and course on the road.
■ When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will ap-
pear to be closer to the vehicle
than the actual distance. Thus,
objects on up-slopes will appear
to be farther away than they ac-
tually are. In the same way, there
will be a margin of error between
the guidelines and the actual dis-
tance and course on the road.
8-2. Panoramic view monitor
286
■ When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will ap-
pear to be further from the vehi-
cle than the actual distance. Thus,
objects on down-slopes will ap-
pear to be closer than they actual-
ly are. In the same way, there will
be a margin of error between the
guidelines and the actual distance
and course on the road.
■ When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle sags
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 and course on
the road.

Margin of error
■ Estimated course center line
As the guide lines are shown mid-
air near the rear bumper, there are
times that they may look like they
are off-center.

Differences between the screen and actual 3D objects
Since the guide lines and displayed on the screen are displayed for
a flat road surface, it is not possible to determine the position of
three-dimensional objects. When approaching a three-dimensional
object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), take
note of the following cautions.
WARNING
When the intuitive parking assist display is red, make sure to visually
check before moving the vehicle any further. There is the danger that you
may collide with another vehicle or have some other unforeseen accident.
■ Displaying panoramic view (including zoom display)
On the screen, it appears that there is a gap between the vehicle’s
bumper and another object or vehicle, and it does not look as if the
vehicle will collide with the object or vehicle. However, the vehicle is
over the course lines, so the vehicle may collide with the object or
vehicle. Make sure to visually check your surroundings.
8-2. Panoramic view monitor
288
■ Estimated course lines
● On the screen, it appears that
the vehicle’s bumper is outside
of the estimated course lines,
and it does not look as if the ve-
hicle will collide with the object
or vehicle. However, the vehicle
is over the course lines, so the
vehicle may collide with the ob-
ject or vehicle. Make sure to vis-
ually check your surroundings.

● Three-dimensional objects in
high positions (such as the
overhang of a wall or loading
platform of a truck) may not ap-
pear on the screen. Make sure
to visually check your surround-
ings.

● On the screen, a truck flatbed
may appear to be outside of the
estimated course lines and the
vehicle does not look as if it will
collide with the truck. However,
the flatbed may actually cross
over the estimated course lines
and if you reverse as guided by
the estimated course lines, the
vehicle may hit the truck. Make
sure to visually check your sur-
roundings.

■ Distance guide lines
On the screen, the distance guide
lines shows that a truck is park-
ing at point . However, in reali-
ty if you reverse to point
, you
will collide with the truck. On the
screen, it appears that point
is closest followed by points
and . However, in reality, the
distance to points and is the
same, and point is farther than
and . Make sure to visual-
ly check behind you and your sur-
roundings. The distance to point
is about 3 ft. (1 m).

■ Overhang of a diagonal beam
In panoramic view, a diagonal
beam may appear straight and
seems likely not to be struck, how-
ever, since the top part of the is
actually overhanging, the vehicle
may hit it. Make sure to visually
check the rear and surroundings.
■ Magnifying function
Unlike the normal panoramic view,
the panoramic view magnifying
function zooms in on the vehicle
icon. Therefore, white lines on the
road, walls, and other objects may
look bent.
