This function detects if there is an obstruction behind the vehicle and reg-
ulates retractable hardtop operation according to the vehicle’s distance
from that obstruction.
This function is merely designed to assist the driver and is not a guarantee
of the safety of the area behind the vehicle. The driver should always
check the vehicle’s surroundings with their own eyes before operating the
retractable hardtop.
■ Operation controls according to each detection area
Area within approximately
1.2 ft. (35 cm) of the vehicle
Area approximately
1.2 ft. (35 cm) to 1.5 ft. (45 cm)
