Default Backup camera assist lines problem

Hi, I found out that assist lines in my backup camera "are not right" - they do not show correct position of the car...
I have parked the car perfectly between the left and right lines, and you can see below, what my backup camera shows...
Does anyone know what can be wrong and how can I fix this? I have checked the camera part number and it is ok - so there is rather no possibility that the previous owner has changed the camera with wrong type...

Could it be a wheel alignment problem or a steering wheel not properly mounted? seems that what is straight for you does not mean straight to the car.

Move the steering wheel until the lines are straight. It senses the wheels are turned very slightly.

Solved it! almost... I have managed to enter the service menu and you can set the proper camera position there I just need a little more regulation than it is possible, but it is just minimal and I think that I need to check the camera mounting, cause it seems like it is mounted a little to the left

How did you access The service menu? I'm wondering if I can get the lines for my rear camera I'm in North America and we don't get this feature

I'm in Canada and I have a 2011 AWD gs350 and I also noticed that I didn't have back up line with my camera.... Is there a way to activate it???

Does the 2006 GS300 have Assist lanes? I do not see it on mine. I simply see the camera with no assists.

Could an an updated Map give me assist lanes?

EDIT: I found another post where someone said they did not see his feature in US cars. How can we add Assist lines to the backup camera? I do not want to change my Nav system.

EDIT2: okay, I found this tread that says it’s not available in the US and it’s only on the Japan and some overseas cars.
