Operation


Top view/front view, top view/front wide view, side view display operation

Operation condition
• When all of the following conditions are met, the top view/front view, top view/front wide view, side view can be displayed.
― Ignition is switched ON (engine off or on)
― Selector lever is in a position other than R (ATX)
― Shift lever is in a position other than reverse or neutral (MTX)

1.When a 360° view monitor switch ON signal (1) is received with the operation conditions met, the 360° view monitor control module receives an image signal (2) from the front camera/side cameras (LH, RH)/rear mount camera.

2.The received image signal processes an image, and then the 360° view monitor control module sends (3) it to the CMU.

3.The CMU converts the received video signal to a LVDS signal and sends (4) the LVDS signal to the center display.

4.The center display indicates (5) the images at the area around the vehicle based on the LVDS signal received from the CMU.

5.When any of the following conditions is met, the 360° view monitor control module switches the images indicated on the center display to not display.

• Parking brake ON signal is received (parking brake is applied) (MTX)
• Selector lever is shifted to P position (ATX)
• When 360° view monitor switch is pressed while vehicle speed is less than approx. 15 km/h {9.3 mph}
― Approx. 270 sec have elapsed since 360° view monitor switch was pressed
― Vehicle speed is approx. 15 km/h {9.3 mph} or more
• When 360° view monitor switch is pressed while vehicle speed is approx. 15 km/h {9.3 mph} or more
― Vehicle speed is approx. 15 km/h {9.3 mph} or more after approx. 8 sec have elapsed since 360° view monitor switch was pressed
― 262 s have elapsed from the point when the vehicle speed was less than 15 km/h {9.3 mph} or the vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h {9.3 mph} after 8 s have elapsed since pressing the 360° view monitor switch.

― Selector lever is in R position(ATX)
― Shift lever is in reverse position(MTX)

1.When a selector lever R position signal(ATX) or shift lever reverse position signal(MTX) is received (1) with the operation conditions met, the 360° view monitor control module receives an image signal (2) from the front camera/side cameras (LH, RH)/rear mount camera.

2.The received image signal processes an image, and then the 360° view monitor control module sends (3) it to the CMU.

3.The CMU converts the received video signal to a LVDS signal (4) and sends the LVDS signal to the center display.(4)

4.The center display indicates (5) the images at the area around the vehicle based on the LVDS signal received from the CMU.

5.When any of the following conditions is met, the 360° view monitor control module switches the images indicated on the center display to non-display.

• Parking brake ON signal is received (parking brake is applied)(MTX)
• Selector lever is shifted to P position(ATX)
