 Selecting one of the 4 areas within the dotted lines will magnify
that area. (Dotted lines are not displayed on the actual display.)
 To return to the normal view, select the panoramic view display
again.

● The magnifying function is enabled when all of the following conditions are
met:
• The wide front view & panoramic view or the rear view & panoramic view
is displayed.
• The vehicle speed is below approximately 7 mph (12 km/h).
• The intuitive parking assist is available.
● In the following situations, the magnified display will be canceled automat-
ically:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 7 mph (12 km/h) or higher.
• The intuitive parking assist is unavailable.
● When the display is magnified, the guide lines will not be 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 bum-
pers 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.

A Objects located in the shaded areas will not be displayed on the


screen.

A Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be


displayed on the screen.

● As the images obtained from four cameras are processed and displayed

AVALON_AVALON HV_Navi_(U)
7-2. Panoramic view monitor 225
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 trunk 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.

Peripheral monitoring system


WARNING
● When a sensor indicator on the intuitive parking assist display illumi-

take extra care when using the following.

Panoramic view display (including magnified display)

Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on
