While flying the line selectable VOR DME 25 into LIR; we noticed that the displayed course did not match the course depicted on the approach plate. After flying outbound on the LIB 088 radial to D 10.0; the FMC course continued outbound for approximately 10 more miles prior to the teardrop turn back to the inbound leg. Since it was VMC and the approach plate depicted the left turn at D 10.0; we agreed that Heading Select would be used to conduct the turn to intercept the inbound leg of the approach. This error is a threat since it could potentially take the aircraft too close to rising terrain.
Air Carrier Captain reported the course; as depicted on this approach; gets too close to terrain.
