Grid Lines
Generally, to help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles, there are
three lines for reference- red, yellow, and green. Those three lines are displayed on the monitor when car is reversing. The green line is 3M from the
back of the car and the yellow line is 6.5 ft. The distant red line is 1M from
the backside of car while the close red line is 0.4M. Both reference lines on
the left and right should leave 0.2M space from the car.

ADJUSTABLE GRID LINE
The accuracy of the grid-lines can vary based on how you angle your camera. Therefore to compensate for inaccurancies, you can adjust the gridlines to your camera angle.
