Rear parking assist system
precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not operate consistently in
some circumstances depending on
the speed of the vehicle and the
shapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height 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 15 in. (40 cm)
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 to
its occupants related to a Rear
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.
