Note:The system may emit false tones ifit detects a signal using the same frequencyas the sensors or if your vehicle is fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detect theside walls of a garage. If the distancebetween the outer sensor and the side wallremains constant for three seconds, thetone will switch off. As you continue, theinner sensors will detect rearward objects.
PARKING AID
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, readand understand the limitations of thesystem as contained in this section.Sensing is only an aid for some (generallylarge and fixed) objects when moving inreverse on a flat surface at parking speeds.Traffic control systems, inclementweather, air brakes and external motorsand fans may also affect the function ofthe sensing system. This may includereduced performance or a false activation.
To help avoid personal injury, alwaysuse caution when moving in reverseand when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed toprevent contact with small or movingobjects. The system is designed toprovide a warning to assist the driver indetecting large stationary objects to avoiddamaging the vehicle. The system may notdetect smaller objects, particularly thoseclose to the ground.
Certain add-on devices such as largetrailer hitches, bike or surfboard racksand any device that may block thenormal detection zone of the system, maycreate false audible warnings.
Note:Keep the sensors located on thebumper or fascia free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. If the sensorsare covered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors withsharp objects.
