2-4. Using other driving systems
Beeps and obstacle distance
A beep sounds when an obstacle with which there is a danger of collision
is detected. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the interval of
the beep becomes shorter.
● When the follo
wing obstacle distan ces are reached, the beep changes
from intermittent to continuous:
• If the distance to the obstacle detected by the dual sensors or rear corner
sensors is less than 0.8 ft. (25 cm).
• If the distance to the obstacle detected by the back sensors is less than 1.1 f
t. (35 cm).
●If obstacles are detected by the dual sensors in 2 places at once, or if
both rear corner sensors detect obst acles at the same time, the system
will sound a warning beep for the closer of the 2 obstacles.
● If multiple obstacles ar
e detected in front and behind th e vehicle at the
same time, the warning beep will change in the following manner:
• If an obstacle has been detected within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of the front or rear
of the vehicle (a continuous beep is sounding), and a new obstacle is
detected near a different area of th e vehicle, the warning beep will sound
6 beeps then one continuous beep.
• If an obstacle has been detected within 0
.8 ft. (25 cm) of the front or rear
of the vehicle (a continuous beep is sounding), and a new obstacle is
detected within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of a different area of the vehicle, the warn -
ing beeps will sound 2 beeps then one continuous beep
.
●You can change the volume of the warning beeps. ( P. 1 5 0 )

When driving
■When the system malfunctions
●If a malfunction occurs and no obstacles have been detected, a warning is dis-
played, and a malfunction beep sounds for 7 seconds. 
If an obstacle has been detected, or another malfunction occurs in a different
sensor
, the malfunction beeps will not sound.
●In the following circumstances the displayed warning will disappear:
• If you switch the screen to a different mode.
• If you turn OFF the intuitive parking assist main switch.
• If the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). Once the vehicle speed drops
b
elow 6 mph (10 km/h), the warning will be displayed again.
●If the malfunction screen is displayed, the detection range of the dual sensors is
shortened. In this case, the necessity fo r obstacle evasion (whether the obstacle
will come within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of the vehicle or not) will not be calculated.
■When using intuitive parking assist
●The sensors' detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving for -
ward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides
of the
vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s
speed.
• The sensors' detection areas are limited to the ar
eas around the vehicle’s front
and rear bumpers.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle an
d other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or dete c
tion may be impossible.
• There will be a short delay between ob stacl
e detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within 0.8 ft. (25
cm) of the vehicle before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds.
• Braking distance may differ according to the road conditions (rain, gravel et
c.).
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
fl
ow noise of air conditioning system.
• For long obstacles such as walls, the obstacle warning may change as the o
bstacle gets closer.

■When the battery is disconnected
All preset stations are erased.
■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the continually
changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and surrounding
objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio
reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the
antenna wire mounted in side the rear window.
