Nissan Altima (L33) 2013-2018 Owners Manual: Difference between predicted and actual distances
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is for reference
only and may be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.
Backing up behind a projecting object
The position C is shown farther than the position
B in the display. However, the position C is
actually at the same distance as the position A .
The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to
the position A if the object projects over the
actual backing up course.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown farther than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place A , but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on
the hill is the place B . Note that any object on
the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor.
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width and
distances to objects with reference to the vehicle
bumper line A are displayed on the monitor.
