The parking distance warning-reverse
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 47 in. (120 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and it is not intended to nor does it
replace the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing
range and objects detectable by the
back sensors (➀ ) are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a parking
distance warning-reverse.
Operation of the parking dis-
tance warning-reverse
Operating condition
This system will activate when the indicator on the parking distance
warning-reverse OFF button is not
illuminated. If you desire to deacti-
vate the parking distance warning-
reverse, press the parking distance
warning-reverse OFF button again.
(The indicator on the button will
illuminate.) To turn the system on,
press the button again. (The indi-
cator on the button will go off.)
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated.
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 47 in. (120
cm) at the rear bumper center
area, 23.5 in. (60 cm) at the rear
bumper side area.
PARKING DISTANCE WARNING-REVERSE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Parking dis-
tance warning-reverse
Never rely solely on the parking
distance warning-reverse.
Always perform a visual inspec-
tion to make sure the vehicle is
clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion. Stop immediately if you are
aware of a child anywhere near
your vehicle. Some objects may
not be detected by the sensors,
due to the object's size or mate-
rial.

The rear view monitor will activate
with the ignition switch ON and the
shift lever in the R (Reverse) position.
The system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows the area behind the
vehicle through the audio screen
while backing up. This system is a supplemental sys-
tem only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
inside/outside rearview mirrors and
the area behind the vehicle before
and while backing up.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If lens is covered with for-
eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.
REAR VIEW MONITOR
WARNING - Backing &
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera. You must always use
methods of viewing the area
behind you including looking
over each shoulders as well as
continuously checking all three
rear view mirrors. Due to the dif-
ficulty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear, always
back-up slowly and stop immedi-
ately if you suspect that a per-
son, and especially a child, might
be behind you.
