Features of your vehicle
The back-up warning system assists
the driver during backward move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within a distance of
120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver. The sens-
ing range and objects detectable by
the back sensors are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as
you would in a vehicle without the
back-up warning system.
Operation of the back-up
warning system
Operating condition
This system will activate whenbacking up with the ignition switch
ON.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
Types of warning sound
When an object is 120 cm to 61 cm(47 in. to 24 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermittently.
When an object is 61 cm to 31 cm (23 in. to 12 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-
quently.
When an object is within 30 cm (11 in.) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.

The rear camera display will activate
when the back-up light is ON with the
ignition switch ON and the shift lever
in the R (Reverse) position. Note- during initial start up, system
may not display instantly due to the

displaying during initial reverse selec-
tion. This occurs when starting and
immediately shifting to reverse.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through the UVO audio or navigation
display backing-up.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If
lens is covered with foreign matter,
the camera may not operate normally.
