The parking distance warning is not
a substitute for proper and safe park-
ing and backing-up procedures.
Always drive safely and use caution
when parking. The parking distance
warning-reverse may not detect
every object behind or in front of the
vehicle. The parking distance warning-
reverse assists the driver during
movement of the vehicle by chiming
if any object is sensed within the dis-
tance of 39 in. (100 cm) in front or 47
in. (120 cm) 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 sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limited.
When the vehicle moving, pay atten-
tion to your surroundings.

- Parking distance warning
Never rely solely on the parking
distance warning when parking
the vehicle. Always perform a
visual inspection to make sure
the vehicle is clear of all
obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction. Stop
immediately if you are aware of
a child anywhere near your vehi-
cle. Some objects may not be
detected by the sensors, due to
the object's size or material.
