STARTING AND OPERATING
25REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM
NOTE:
o Rear parking assist system shouldonly be considered as a supple- mentary function. The driver mustcheck the rear view.
o The audible signal can be differ-
ent depending on the objects.
o The audible signal might not acti- vate in case the sensor is frozen orstained with dirt or mud.
o There is a chance of malfunction of the rear parking assist systemwhen driving in uneven surfacessuch as woods, gravel road, jagged road, or gradient.
o Do not push, or scratch the sur- face of the sensor. This will likelydamage the covering.
o The sensor system might not rec- ognize sharp objects, thick win-ter clothes or sponges which absorb the frequency.
o Clean dirty sensors with a soft sponge and clean water.
o When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos- est one will be recognized first.

o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the parking brake and place the gear selector lever in "P"(automatic transmission) or in first or reverse gear (manual trans-mission). If your vehicle is facing downhill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep thevehicle from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the vehicle fromrolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. if there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in "P" (automatic trans- mission) or in first or reverse gear(manual transmission) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
