MOVING OBJECTDETECTION (MOD)
FUNCTION (ifequipped)
GUID-6CAFFD 96-0FA6-42CB-8 531-35613FD16A94
The Moving ObjectDetection (MOD)system can
inform thedriver ofmoving objects whendriving outof
garages, maneuvering intoparking lotsand inother
such instances.
The MOD system detects movingobjects byusing
image processing technologyonthe image shown on
the display .The rear view camera isequipped withthe
automatic washerfunction usingwindow washerfluid.
The MOD system operates inthe following conditions
when thecamera viewisdisplayed:
. When theshift lever isin the ªPº (Park) orªNº
(Neutral) position(CVTmodel) orthe shift lever is
out ofthe ªRº (Reverse) position(MTmodel) and
the vehicle isstopped, theMOD system detects
the moving objects inthe bird's-eye view.The MOD
system willnotoperate ifthe outside mirror
is moving inor out orifeither doorisopened.
. When theshift lever isin the ªDº (Drive) position
(CVT model) orthe shift lever isout ofthe ªRº
(Reverse) position(MTmodel) ,and thevehicle
speed isbelow approximately 8km/h (5MPH) ,
the MOD system detects movingobjects inthe
front view.
. When theshift lever isin the ªRº (Reverse)
position andthevehicle speedisbelow approxi-
mately 8km/h (5MPH) ,the MOD system detects
moving objects inthe rear view.The MOD system
will notoperate ifthe back doorisopen.
The MOD system doesnotdetect moving objects in
the front-side view.The MOD iconisnot displayed on
the screen wheninthis view .
WARNING:
. The MOD system isnot asubstitute for
proper vehicle operation anddoes notpre-
vent contact withtheobjects surrounding
the vehicle. Whenmaneuvering, alwaysuse
the outside mirrorandinside rearview mirror
and turn andlook tocheck thesurroundings
to make sureitis safe tomaneuver.
. The system isdeactivated atspeeds above
10 km/h (6MPH) .It is reactivated atlower
speeds.
. The system isnot designed toprevent
contact withallobjects.
. The MOD system isnot designed todetect
surrounding stationaryobjects.
