Principle of Operation
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:
To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system.
WARNING:
The system may not detect small or moving objects, particularly those close to the ground. |
Note:
Certain add-on devices installed around the rear fascia such as large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks or certain add-on devices installed around the front fascia such as license plate brackets or frames, bumper covers, bumper guards or any other device that may block the normal detection zone of the system, may create false beeps.
Note:
In these cases the add-on devices must be removed in order to prevent the false beeps.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.Blocked sensors may affect system accuracy.Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
Note:
When a trailer is connected to the vehicle, the Rear Sensing System may detect the trailer and therefore provide warnings. It is suggested that the driver disables the Rear Sensing System when a trailer is connected to the vehicle to prevent these warnings.
We recommend that you take some time to get to know the system and its limitations by reading this section.
The sensing system warns the driver of obstacles within a certain range of your vehicle. The system automatically turns on each time you switch the ignition on.
The system may provide display or sound warnings when the detected obstacle is
12 in (30 cm) or less from the bumper.
The system can be switched off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). If your vehicle is equipped with a front sensing system, you can switch the system off using the parking aid button. See
General Information.
If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display and does not allow you to switch the system on.

Information Messages.
