The parking assist system assists the
driver during movement of the vehicle by
chiming if any object is sensed within the
distance of 23.62 in (60 cm) in front or
39.37 in (100 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and it is not intended to nor does it
replace the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limited.
When moving the vehicle, pay as much
attention to what is in front of and behind
you as you would in a vehicle without a
parking assist system.
Operation of the parking assist
system
D170101ABH
Operating condition
This system will activate when the
parking assist button is pressed with
the engine running.
Sensing distance in backing up is approximately 39.37 in (100 cm) when
you are driving less than 6.21 mph (10
km/h).
Sensing distance in moving forward is approximately 23.62 in (60 cm) when
you are driving less than 6.21 mph (10
km/h).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.

WARNING
The parking assist system should
only be considered as a supple-
mentary function. The driver must
check the front and rear view. The
operational function of the parking
assist system can be affected by
many factors and conditions of the
surroundings, so the responsibility
rests always with the driver.

WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehi-
cle is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected
by the sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Outside air temperature is extremely
hot or cold.
2. Undetectable objects smaller than 39.37 in (1 m) and narrower than 5.51
in (14 cm) in diameter.
The following objects may not be rec-ognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects, which tend to absorb sensor frequency such as clothes, spongy
material or snow.
✽ ✽NOTICE
1. The warning may not sound sequen-
tially depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
2. The parking assist system may mal- function if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been modi-
fied. Any non-factory installed equip-
ment or accessories may also interfere
with the sensor performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects less than 11.81 in (30 cm) from the sensor,
or it may sense an incorrect distance.
Use with caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the sensor may be
inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sen- sor with any hard objects that could
damage the surface of the sensor.
Sensor damage could occur.
✽ ✽NOTICE
This system can only sense objects with-
in the range and location of the sensors,
it can not detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed. Also,
small or slim objects, or objects located
between sensors may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving.
Be sure to inform any drivers in the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the
system regarding the system’s capabili-
ties and limitations.
