To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in R
(Reverse) and when using the extended rear park aid.
This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or
moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to
assist the driver in detecting objects to avoid damaging the vehicle.
The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly those close to
the ground.
The system will assist the driver in detecting certain objects while the
vehicle slowly moves in reverse at speeds less than 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is not effective at speeds greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) and
may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The system detects obstacles within approximately five meters (16.4 ft.)
behind the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer
corners of the bumper. In the figure, the smaller objects behind the
vehicle represent the near-vehicle and bumper corner coverage area of
the park aid system and the large object represents the extended
coverage area. As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone
increases. When the distance to the obstacle is less than 45.0 cm
(18 in.), the tone will sound continuously. If the system detects an object
that is approaching the vehicle at such as rate that rapid braking is
required, a very high rate tone will sound. If this tone is heard while
reversing, the driver is advised to slow down immediately until the tone
either changes to a slower rate or stops.
In addition to the tones, a visual
display is located next to the high
mount stop lamp by the back
window and will also indicate the
distance to a potential obstacle.
