The Meaning Of The Coloured Lines On The Toyota Backup Camera by AutoJoshNG: 4:35am On Jul 06, 2019 |
Backup camera used in cars is one of the numerous innovative and advanced vehicle technology used in the automobile industry. Backup cameras help drivers to have eyes in the back of their head as they reverse. Instead of looking back, drivers can just use the backup camera. Have you ever wondered the meaning of all those coloured lines you see on backup camera when you want to reverse your Toyota Car? How can they help you be more confident when backing up and maneuvering in reverse? Worry no more, you’re in the right place; Autojosh is here to clear you on that. Meanings of Toyota backup camera lines NB: White arrows are used to specifically point to the line being talked about. 1. Vertical lines on the sides (either yellow or blue): These lines show the width of your vehicle and estimate where you’ll go if you back straight up. If your backup camera offers dynamic guidelines, these lines will move accordingly as you turn your steering wheel. If your backup camera is dynamic. it will appear as it is in the image below when you turn while reversing. 2. Horizontal red line: This line is closest to your vehicle and represents the area about 18 inches (or a foot and a half) from the rear of your car. This distance might be smaller if you’re on a sloping or bumpy surface. 3. Next horizontal line (either yellow or blue): The yellow or blue line behind the red line represents the area about 3 feet from the bumper of your vehicle, give or take a little bit. This line can get a bit distorted as you look away from the center of the camera, due to the shaping of the camera. Be forewarned!!! In as much as backup cameras aid drivers to reverse their car, be especially careful about the ‘blind area” behind and around you. Don’t rely solely on reverse camera.

thebigkendo: Learned to reverse with the mirrors. Only on a dark night I turn my neck. And that's cause the mirrors are auto dimming and the rear glass is laminated. |

The safest method is; Put one hand at the front passenger's headrest Turn your head back You will see more clearly than the camera. OR Look for someone that will direct you thus, "Oga cut your hand, dey cut am, dey cut am, Oga cut am finish... Oya dey come, stop, cut your hand full, dey come, dey come, dey come" These are proven methods that's better than the camera 16 Likes |

"This distance might be smaller if you’re on a sloping or bumpy surface." "This line can get a bit distorted as you look away from the center of the camera, due to the shaping of the camera. Be forewarned!!!" "Don’t rely solely on reverse camera." After carefully considering the OP comments.... The Necks have It. Gbam 5 Likes

Just about last week, I was backing down a narrow sloping bridge using the reverse camera and all of a sudden I tilted about 45 degrees sideways into a ditch. I had to use the auxiliary gears and a lot of prayers to get my self out. Just a little more and I would have gone tumbling down the gully. Problem is the camera shows the ground all level with little to no perception about slope or depth. Necks still have it, even side mirrors can mess you up if you’re not careful. |

Lexusgs430:That is the driving school rules in North America. Toyota sef. Still using ordinary back up when other manufacturers have been using 360 degrees and bird eye since 2014. |

laivwire:Same with my wife. She clipped one of the side mirrors when backing out of garage using the 360 degrees camera. Sometimes, too much tech is bad. Like i would never rely on the automatic blind side monitoring. I still do my shoulder check. 1 Like |
