Rear Parking Aid (If Equipped)
WARNING:
The system may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb reflection. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash.
WARNING:
The system may not detect small or moving objects, particularly those close to the ground.
WARNING:
To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system.
WARNING:
The parking aid system can only assist you to detect objects when your vehicle is moving at parking speeds. To help avoid personal injury you must take care when using the parking aid system. |
The sensors are on the rear bumper.
The sensors are active when the transmission is in reverse (R) and the vehicle speed is less than
5 mph (8 km/h). When the parking aid system sounds a tone, the audio system may reduce the set volume.
A warning tone sounds when your vehicle approaches an object. As your vehicle moves closer to an object, the rate of the tone increases.The warning tone continuously sounds when an object is
12 in (30 cm) or less from the center of the rear bumper.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Note:
Do not cover up the sensors.
Note:
Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage leaving the sensors misaligned, this could cause inaccurate measurements or false alerts.
Note:
Some accessories, for example, large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks, can cause reduced performance or false alerts.
The sensor coverage area is up to
70 in (180 cm) from the rear bumper.
Note:
There is a decreased coverage area at the outer corners.
If the system detects a fault, a warning message appears in the information display.
The system detects large objects when you shift into reverse (R) and any of the following occur:- Your vehicle is moving backward at low speed.
- Your vehicle is stationary, but an object is approaching the rear of your vehicle at low speed.
- Your vehicle is moving backward at low speed and an object is moving toward your vehicle, for example another vehicle at low speed.
If your vehicle remains stationary for two seconds, the audible warning turns off. If your vehicle moves backward, the tone sounds again.
Note:
If the detected object is
12 in (30 cm) or less from the rear bumper, the audible warning does not turn off.
Object Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system provides object distance indication through the information display.
- As the distance to the object decreases, the indicator blocks illuminate and move toward the vehicle icon.
- If the system does not detect an object, the distance indicator blocks are gray.
When you shift into reverse (R), the system provides audible warnings and visual indication when your vehicle is moving, and the detected object is moving toward your vehicle. When you stop your vehicle, the audible warnings stop after two seconds. Visual indication remains on when the transmission is in reverse (R).
