Device for monitoring area around vehicle

A back camera image from a back camera (58) mounted on a rear portion of a vehicle body is displayed on a display (60) mounted on the console inside the vehicle cabin when the vehicle (80) is parallel parking. After the vehicle passes a steering direction reversal point (P) in this state, a corner camera image from a corner camera (56) mounted on a corner portion of a front portion of the vehicle body is displayed on the display (60) when the vehicle nears a vehicle parked in front, or, more specifically, when an angle of the vehicle after it has reached the steering direction reversal point has reached a predetermined value. Guidance images may be overlaid upon the camera images during some or all of the parallel parking maneuver.
