■Types of sensors 
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when parallel park-
ing or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the sensors and com-
municated via the multi-information display, Remote Touch screen and
a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using this system.

When the sensors detect an obstacle, a graphic is shown on the multi-
information display and Remote Touch screen depending on the position
and distance to the obstacle.

■Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
●The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the obsta-
cle, the buzzer sounds continuously:• Front center sensors: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
• Corner sensors: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
• Rear center sensors: Approximately 1.1 ft. (35 cm)
●When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest obst acle. If one or both come within
the above distances, the beep will repeat a long tone, followed by fast
beeps.
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect obstacles that
are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object
etc.
