Reverse Parking Distance Warning
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 47 in. (120 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
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
back sensors (➀ ) are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without Reverse
Parking Distance Warning.

If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 47 in. (120
cm) at the rear bumper center
area, 23.5 in. (60 cm) at the rear
bumper both side area.
If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the system will not warn
you even though objects are
detected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.Non-operational conditions of

the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.

rower than 6 in. (14 cm) in diame-
ter.Reverse Parking Distance
Warning precautions
Reverse Parking Distance Warningmay not sound consistently
depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
Reverse Parking Distance Warning may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installa-
tion has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may also
interfere with the sensor perform-
ance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 12 in. (30 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov- ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until the
material is removed using a soft
cloth.
To prevent damage, do not push, scratch or strike the sensor.

Limitation of the system
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) is designed to monitor the
vehicle or pedestrians ahead in the
roadway through camera recogni-
tion to warn the driver that a colli-
sion is imminent, and if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the camera may
not be able to detect the vehicle or
pedestrians ahead. In these cases,
FCA may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where FCA
operation may be limited.
