Section 1
■ ULTRASONIC REAR
PARKING ASSIST
NOTICE
If the rear bumper is damaged,
the parking assist system may
not work properly.
CAUTION
Use care when parking your
vehicle. Always check for
people, other vehicles and
obstructions. Also check for
blind spots.
The system is only able to
detect objects according to the
parameters specified in this
section.
The system is not designed to
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists or pets.
Failure to follow these
precautions can result in injuries
or even death.
CAUTION (Continued)
The system will not detect
objects that are below the
bumper or under the vehicle, or
some objects that are very close
to the vehicle.
The maximum distance at
which the system can detect
objects may be reduced when
the weather is warm or the
humidity is high.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
This feature is designed to make
rear and parallel parking easier by
assisting you in determining how
close the rear of your vehicle is to
an object.
The system's sensors, located on
the rear bumper, are used to
detect the distance to an object
behind the vehicle.
In order for the sensors to detect
an object, the following conditions
must be met:
• The object must be at least
25.4 cm (10 inches) above
ground level.
• The object must be below the
top of the vehicle.
• Vehicle speed must be less than
8 km/h (5 mph).
