3. OPERATIONS OF PARKING AID SYSTEM(PAS)
1) Alarm interval
Alarm interval and display changes according to the distance as below:
While reversing, if obstacles are within stage 1, the warning beep sounds with long intervals. I
f
within stage 2, the warning beep sounds with short intervals and if within stage 3, the warning
beep sounds continuously.
2) System Trouble Shooting
When the power is applied (gear selector lever is in “R” position), the sensor will be
diagnosed once. If found any failure due to open circuit to sensor or communication error,
warning buzzer sounds for 3 seconds and the data on failed sensor transmits to the instrument
panel to light up the corresponding LED. If normal, the warning buzzer sounds only for 65 ms.
1) Whenever the power is applied, the diagnosis mode is initiated.
2) Sensor failure conditions
(conditions for warning beep due to failure)
(a) Open in sending circuit
(b) Open in receiving circuit
(c) Open in power circuit (+, -)

3) Cautions on parking aid system
Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area.
Always check nobody, especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle.
Normal precautions when reversing should be maintained. *
*
The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking operation.
Always keep the safety precautions.
Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or high-pressure water gun while washing, o
r
the sensors will be damaged.
If the system is in normal operating conditions, a short beep sounds when the gear selecto
r
lever is moved into “R” position with the ignition key “ON”.
If the system is in abnormal operating conditions, a beep sounds for 3 seconds when the
gear selector lever is moved into “R” position with the ignition key “ON” or engine
running. However, it is also occurred when the obstacle is within 50 cm from the rea
r
bumper. 1.

(1) The parking aid system will not work or improperly work under
following cases:
▶Certain obstacles that sensors can not detect
- Wires, ropes, chains.
- Cotton, sponge, clothes, snow that absorb ultrasonic waves.
- Obstacles lower than the bumper.
▶Not defective but improperly working
- When the sensing portion is frozen.
- When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud.
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals
(metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial vehicles).
- When a high-power radio is turned on.
▶Narrowed sensing area
- When the sensing portion is partially covered by snow or mud.

▶Not defective but may occur improper working
- When driving on the rough road, gravel road, hill and grass.
- When the bumper height is changed due to the heavy load.
- When the sensing portion is frozen.
- When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud.
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals
(metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial vehicles).
- When a high-power radio is turned on.
- When some accessories are attached in detecting ranges

5. OPERATIONS OF REARVIEW CAMERA
This is a supplementary parking aid system to display the rearview when the gear selector lever
is moved into “R” position.
The audio and video mode in rear A/V system are not changed when selecting R position while
A/V system is in use.
The real distance is different from what you see in monitor because the camera uses
wide-angle lens.
Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area.
Keep the camera lens clean with a lens cleaner. -

6. OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF REARVIEW CAMERA
In the rearview camera equipped vehicle, the monitors display when selecting “R”
position for safe parking. The operating conditions are as below:
1) General
When selecting R position while A/V system is in use:
The video mode in front A/V system is changed to rearview monitoring mode. However, the
audio mode stays on.
<007b008f008c0047009d0090008b008c0096004700940096008b008c0047009000950047008d009900960095009b004700680056007d0047009a00a0009a009b008c009400470099008c009a009c0094008c009a0047009e008f008c00950047009a008f00

The audio and video mode in rear A/V system are not changed.
When selecting R position while A/V system is not in use:
Both monitors are automatically turned on to display rearview.

2) Operating Conditions and Modes of Rearview Camera
The rearview camera cannot operate alone. If the gear selector lever stays in “R” position
more than 3 seconds with the ignition key “ON” or engine running, the rearview appears
on the monitors automatically regardless of displays by head unit.
When the rearview mode is activated, the AV system doesn’t work even though the
buttons on the AV unit are pressed.
However, the monitor angle can be adjusted when the AV system is changed to the rearview
mode with the head unit turned off. And, the monitor angle and volume can be adjusted when
the AV system is changed to the rearview mode with the head unit turned on.

3) Rearview Camera Operation
The reverse signal works as an operation signal for rearview camera. If it receives reverse
signal, the rearview camera is turned on even though the AV unit is turned off.
The rearview camera consists of AV unit (including monitor), reverse signal, battery voltage and
rearview camera.
The AV unit receives the power from battery and if it receives the reverse signal, supplies the
power to rearview camera.
When the rearview camera operates, it transmits color video signal to the A/V unit then the
rearview is displayed on the monitor.
