There are three lines—red, yellow, and green, to help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles. Those three lines are displayed on the monitor when the car is reversing.

The distant red line is 3.3 feet away from the back of the car, while the closed red line is 1.3 feet away. Please note that there is 0.65 feet distance from the car for reference lines shown below.

Regular guide lines are fixed although installation sites of camera and car size are different. The fixed guide line is not accurate enough for drivers. There is huge difference between the regular, fixed guide lines, and real guide lines of the car. It may cause accidents when camera is mounted on the left or right side on the back side of the car.
