2011 HONDA PILOT sensor

The system may not f unction
properly under these conditions:The sensors are covered with
snow,ice,mud,etc.
When the vehicle is on a rough
road, on grass, or on a hill.
After the vehicle has been sitting
out in hot or cold weather.
The range of the corner sensors and
the rear center sensors are limited.
Each corner sensor is capable of
sensing an obstacle only when your
vehicleis24in(60cm)orcloser.
The rear center sensor senses an
obstacle that is behind your vehicle
40 in (100 cm) or closer.
Do not put any accessories on or
around the sensors.
If the system develops a problem,
you will see a ‘‘CHECK PARKING
SENSOR SYSTEM’’ message on the
multi-inf ormation display, and a
beeper sounds continuously. Very
of ten, a sensor covered with mud, ice,
snow,etc.isthecauseof this
message. Check the sensors f irst. If
the message stays on or the beeper
does not stop, have the system
checked by your dealer.

For the best picture, always keep the
rearview camera clean, and do not
cover the camera lens. To avoid
scratching the lens when you clean it,
use a moist, sof t cloth.
Since the rearview camera display
area is limited, you should always
back up slowly and caref ully, and
look behind you f or obstacles.
When the system is af f ected by
some electrical equipment or
devices generating an ultrasonic
wave.
When operating the vehicle in bad
weather.
The system may not sense thin or
low objects, or sonic-absorptive
materials such as snow, cotton, or
sponge.
The system cannot sense objects
directly under the bumper. Whenever you shif t to reverse (R)
with the ignition switch in the ON
(II) position, the rear view is shown
on the navigation system screen. On
vehicles without a navigation system,
the rear view is shown on the lef t
side of the inside mirror.
This device complies with IndustryCanada Standard RSS-210. Operation issubject to the f ollowing two conditions:(1) this device may not causeinterf erence, and (2) this device mustaccept any interf erence that may causeundesired operation of the device.

Monitor brightness is adjusted
automatically by sensors. If you use
the monitor continuously at high
temperature, the monitor will
gradually dim.
The inside mirror will be hot when
you use the monitor f or an extended
period of time.
If a bright light (such as sunlight) is
shining on the inside mirror, the
image may be dif f icult to see.
When in reverse, the navigation
buttons are locked out, except the
interf ace dial on the dashboard. Turn
the knob clockwise to make the
camera image brighter, and counter-
clockwise to darken the image.
You can turn the monitor on and of f
by pressing the monitor of f button
when the shif t lever is in reverse.
The monitor turns on everytime you

If you use an accessory roof rack,
the roof rack weight limit may be

Distribute cargo evenly on the
f loor of the cargo area, placing the
heaviest items on the bottom and
as far forward as possible. Tie
down items that could be thrown
about the vehicle during a crash or
sudden stop.
If youfolddownthesecondor

that could be thrown about the
vehicle during a crash or sudden

Keep the glove box closed while
driving. If it is open, a passenger
could injure their knees during a
crash or sudden stop. Keep all cargo below the bottom
of the windows. If it is higher, it
could interf ere with the proper
operation of the side curtain
airbags. If you carry large items that
prevent you f rom closing the
tailgate or the glass hatch, exhaust

When the low tire pressure indicator
is on, one or more of your tires is
signif icantly underinf lated. You
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inf late them to
the proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle’s tire inf ormation placard.
If you think you can saf ely drive a
short distance to a service station,
proceed slowly, and inf late the tire to
the recommended pressure shown
on the driver’s doorjamb.
If the tire is f lat, or if the tire
pressure is too low to continue
driving, replace the tire with the
compact spare tire (see page ).
If you cannot make the low tire
pressure indicator go out af ter
inf lating the tires to the specif ied
values, have your dealer check the
system as soon as possible.Driving on a signif icantly under
inf lated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinf lation also reduces f uel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
af f ect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Becausetirepressurevariesby
temperature and other conditions,
the low tire pressure indicator may
come on unexpectedly.
Each tire has its own pressure
sensor (not including the spare tire).
If the air pressure of a tire becomes
signif icantly low while driving, the
sensor in that tire immediately sends
a signal that causes the low tire
pressure indicator to come on. Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that turns on every time you start the
engine and monitors the pressure in
your tires while driving.

recommended that you always have
your tires serviced by your dealer or

the TPMS indicator will go off, after
several miles (kilometers) driving,
when you replace the spare tire with
the specif ied regular tire equipped
with the tire pressure monitor sensor.
Never use a puncture-repairing agent
in a f lat tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.

Driving on a signif icantly under-
inf lated tire causes the tire to

Under-inf lation also reduces f uel

af f ect the vehicle’s handling and

Becausetirepressurevariesby

indicator may come on unexpectedly.
When the low tire pressure/TPMS
indicator is on, one or more of your

Youshouldstopandcheckyourtires
as soon as possible, and inflate them
to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s tire inf ormation
placard.
It is possible that the pressures
shown on the multi-inf ormation
display and the pressures you
manually measure are slightly
dif f erent.
If the dif f erence is signif icant or you
cannot make the low tire pressure/
TPMS indicator and message on the
multi-inf ormation display go out af ter

Each tire has its own pressure
sensor. If the air pressure of a tire
becomes signif icantly low, the
sensor in that tire immediately sends
a signal that causes the low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator in the
instrument panel to come on. If this
happens, you will see which tire is
losing pressure on the multi-
inf ormation display along with a
‘‘CHECK TIRE PRESSURE’’
message. Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that turns on every time you start the
engine and monitors the pressure in
your tires while driving.
