The system also provides an enhancedtraction control function by reducingengine torque if the wheels spin when youaccelerate. This improves your ability topull away on slippery roads or loosesurfaces, and improves comfort by limitingwheel spin in hairpin bends.

When theobstacle is fewer than 12 inches (30centimetres) away, the audible warningsounds continuously. If a stationary orreceding object is detected farther than 12inches (30 centimetres) from the side ofyour vehicle, the audible warning soundsfor only three seconds. Once the systemdetects an object approaching, the audiblewarning sounds again.
Coverage area of up to 72 inches(183 centimetres) from the rearbumper (with a decreasedcoverage area at the outercorners of the bumper).

The system sounds an audible warningwhen obstacles are near either bumper inthe following manner:
•Objects detected by the front sensorsare indicated by a high-pitched tonefrom the front speakers.
•Objects detected by the rear sensorsare indicated by a lower pitched tonefrom the rear speakers. As your vehiclemoves closer to the obstacle, the rateof the audible warning increases.

For example, ifan obstacle is 24 inches (60centimetres) from the front of yourvehicle and at the same time, anobstacle is only 16 inches (40centimetres) from the rear of yourvehicle, the lower pitched tone sounds.
•An alternating audible warning soundsfrom the front and rear if there areobjects at both bumpers that are closerthan 12 inches (30 centimetres).
•If a stationary or receding object isdetected further than 12 inches (30centimetres) from the side of yourvehicle, the audible warning sounds foronly three seconds. Once the systemdetects an object approaching, theaudible warning sounds again.
