Parking Sensor System
*Some models.
Parking Sensor System *
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors which detect obstructions around the vehicle
when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel parking, and a
buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the approximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to con¿ rm the safety
around your vehicle visually when driving:
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the backward directions
while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited, therefore, driving the
vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an accident. Always con¿ rm the
safety around your vehicle visually when driving.

depending on the portable audio
device to be connected.
  Before using the auxiliary jack/USB
port, refer to the instruction manual
for the portable audio device.
  Use a commercially-available,
non-impedance (3.5
) stereo mini
plug for connecting the portable
audio unit to the auxiliary jack.
Before using the auxiliary jack, read
the manufacturer's instructions for
connecting a portable audio unit to
the auxiliary jack.
