Rear parking assist system (if equipped)
The Rear Parking Assist System
assists the driver during reverse move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within approximately
120 cm (50 in) behind the vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys- tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, itcannot detect objects in other areaswhere sensors are not installed.
Operation of the Rear ParkingAssist System
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing up with the POWER button
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3
mph), the system may not detect
objects. If the vehicle speed exceeds 10
km/h (6 mph), the system will not
warn you even though objects aredetected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Sensor
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.
WARNING
Types of warning soundIndicator
When an object is approximately 60 to 120 cm (24 to 47 in) from
the rear bumper, the warning
sound beeps intermittently.
When an object is approximately 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) from
the rear bumper, the warning
sound beeps more frequently.
When an object is within approx- imately 30 cm (12 in) from the
rear bumper, the warning sound
beeps continuously.

sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of the Rear
Parking Assist System malfunction
when:
Driving on uneven road surfacessuch as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.

Detecting range may decrease when:
Outside air temperature is extreme-ly hot or cold.
Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 inches) and narrower than
14 cm (6 inches) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such asropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen- sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Rear parking assist system pre-
cautions
The rear parking assist system may not operate consistently insome circumstances depending on
the speed of the vehicle and theshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumperheight or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is blocked with snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur. Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries toits occupants related to a Rear
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.
