Operation of the rear parking
assist system
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing
up with the ignition key ON.
If the vehicle is moved at speed over
5 km/h (3 mph), the system may not
activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the rear parking assist system is in operation is
approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.
Types of warning sound
When an object is 120 cm to 81 cm (47in. to 32 in.) from the rear bumper :
Buzzer beeps intermittently
When an object is 80 cm to 41 cm (31 in. to 16 in.) from the rear bumper :
Buzzer beeps more frequently
When an object is within 40 cm (15 in.) of the rear bumper : Buzzer sounds
continuously.
Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system
Rear parking assist system may notoperate normally when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when moisture
melts.)
2. Sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the sensor
cover is blocked. (It will operate nor-
mally when the material is removed or
the sensor is no longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-
ent).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes) are within
range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the sensor.
7. Sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (Sensing range
will return to normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
Following objects may not be recog-nized 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.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) and narrower than 14 cm (6 in.)
in diameter.
