Subaru Forester: Help line
The help line (distance marker and vehicle width line) is a guide to help you realize the actual distance from the screen.
1) Vehicle width line (oblique vertical line)
2) Approx. 10 feet (3 m) from the bumper (green horizontal line)
3) Approx. 6.5 feet (2 m) from the bumper (green horizontal line)
4) Approx. 3 feet (1 m) from the bumper (yellow horizontal line)
5) Approx. 1.5 feet (0.5 m) from the bumper (red horizontal line)
6) Vehicle centerline
When the shift lever or select lever is set to position “R”, the monitor screen displays the help lines together with the rear view image.
- When moving backward, always check the back with your eyes without relying on the help lines.
- The actual position may be different from the indication of the help lines.
- Differences may occur due to number of passengers or loaded cargo.
- When the vehicle is on a slope or when the vehicle is inclined against the road, the indication is different from the actual position.
- Difference between screen and actual road
- When there is an upward slope at the back
- When there is a downward slope at the back
