The Around View Monitor system sythesizes a bird's eye image of
the vehicle and its surrounding from four ultrawide-angle
(180-degree) high-resolution cameras mounted on the front, sides and
rear of the vehicle. The Around View Monitor is particularly helpful
when parking, enabling the driver to steer easily and precisely into
a parking space.

• The screen displays the view from above on the left, and a front or rear view on the right. The front and rear views alternates according to the gear shift. This allows the driver a comprehensive view of the vehicle and its surrounding environment from all angles.
• The left side-view is offered with the rear view, allowing the driver to more easily observe both the rear and left-front when attempting to parallel-park. The driver has the option to choose between the top view and the left side-view.
• The camera-enabled sensors mounted on all four corners of the vehicle depict the distance to an obstacle in easy-to-understand colored graphics, and help warn the driver via a "beeping" alert the closer the vehicle approaches an fixed obstacle.
