■ When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle sags due
to the number of passengers or the dis-
tribution 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
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.
■ Estimated course lines
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.
