AROUND VIEW®MONITOR SYS-
TEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for Around View®Monitor. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
. Do not use the Around View
®Moni-
tor with the outside mirrors in the
stored position, and make sure that
the trunk lid is securely closed when
operating the vehicle using the
Around View
®Monitor.
. The apparent distance between ob-
jects viewed on the Around View
®
Monitor differs from the actual dis-
tance.
. The cameras are installed on the
front grille, the outside mirrors and
above the rear license plate. Do not
put anything on the vehicle that
covers the cameras.
. When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray
it around the cameras. Otherwise,
water may enter the camera unit causing water condensation on the
lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric
shock.
. Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.

than the R (Reverse) position.
. There may be a delay when switching
between views.
. When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not display
objects clearly.
. When strong light is directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
. The colors of objects on the Around
View
®Monitor may differ somewhat
from the actual color of objects.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear
and the color of the object may differ in a
dark environment.
. There may be differences in sharpness
between each camera view of the bird’s-
eye view.
. When activating the Around View
®
Monitor, the icons and the messages
may not be displayed for a while. .
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the Around View
®Monitor may
not display objects clearly. Clean the

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the sonar
function as outlined in this section could
result in serious injury or death.
.The sonar is a convenience feature. It
is not a substitute for proper parking.
. This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
. Always look around and check that it
is safe to move before parking.
. Read and understand the limitations
of the sonar as contained in this
section.
The sonar function helps to inform the driver
of large stationary objects around the
vehicle when parking by issuing an audible
and visual alert.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR FUNCTION
(for models with Around View®Monitor)

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view on the upper display, red
markers will flash. This indicates that the
sonar system is activated.
The system gives the tone for front objects
when the shift lever is in the D (Drive)
position and both front and rear objects
when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
When the camera image is shown on the
upper display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shift lever posi-
tion.
The system is deactivated at speeds above 6
MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-wide,
rear and rear-wide views indicate different
distances to the object.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the rate of the tone increase.
When the vehicle is very close to the object,
the indicator stops blinking and turns red,
and the tone sounds continuously.The intermittent tone will stop after 3
seconds when an object is detected by only
the corner sonar and the distance does not
change.
The tone will stop when the object is no
longer near the vehicle.
WAE0236X
TURNING ON AND OFF THE SO-
NAR FUNCTION
When the Sonar/MOD keyis touched, the
indicator lighton the key will turn off and
the sonar will turn off temporarily. The
Moving Object Detection (MOD) system will
also be turned off at the same time. See
“Moving Object Detection (MOD)” (P.4-31).
When the Sonar/MOD key
is touched
again, the indicator lightwill turn on and
the sonar will turn back on.
In the cases below, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically:
. When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-27

4-28Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
.When the CAMERA button is pushed
and a screen other than the camera view
is shown on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
To prevent the sonar system from activating
altogether, use the sonar system settings
menu.

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect
the function of the system, including
reduced performance or a false acti-
vation.
. The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain. — Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone may be
altered causing inaccurate measure-
ment of objects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Parking sonar settings menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system may
be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar (located on
the front and rear bumper fascia) free
from accumulations of snow, ice and dirt.
Do not scratch the surface of the sonar
when cleaning. If the sensors are cov-
ered, the accuracy of the sonar function
will be diminished.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Mov-
ing Object Detection system could result
in serious injury or death.
.
The MOD system is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation and is
not designed to prevent contact with
the objects surrounding the vehicle.
When maneuvering, always use the
outside mirror and rearview mirror
and turn and check the surrounding
to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
. The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
. The MOD system is not designed to
detect the surrounding stationary
objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
can inform the driver of the moving objects
surrounding the vehicle when driving out of
garages, maneuvering into parking lots and
in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown on the display.
