  1. Vehicle width guide lines (yellow) These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
  2. Distance guide lines. These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).

    The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for the red line and 100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each of the lines).

CAUTION The guide lines on the screen are fi xed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.
