Features of your vehicle
The parking assist system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 in.) in front and 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 sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors (➀) are
limited. Whenever moving pay as
much attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.
Operation of the parking
assist system

parking assist system button is
pressed with the ignition switch ON.
 The indicator of the parking assist system button turns on automatical-
ly and activates the parking assist
system when you shift the gear to
the R (Reverse) position. It will turn
off automatically when you drive
above 20 km/h (12.4 mph).

Features of your vehicle
Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to  objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected
by the sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.Self-diagnosis
When you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position and if one or more
of the below occurs you may have a

ON and the shift lever in the R
(Reverse) position. This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through the audio screen while back-
ing up unless equipped with a navi-
gation system, then will display on
the navigation screen.
Also, it displays rear view image
when there is driver’s request even in
N/D gear. It provides image opti-
mized for driving mode unlike park-
ing mode image. All three conditions
must be met to operate driving assist
mode.

there is a dead zone that can't be
seen by the camera.  Always keep the camera lens
clean. If lens is covered with for-
eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.

WARNING - Backing &
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing. You must
always use methods of viewing
the area behind you including
looking over both shoulders as
well as continuously checking all
three rear view mirrors. Due to
the difficulty of ensuring that the
area behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.
