Parking Sensor System
The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle
while parking the vehicle in a garage or during parallel parking when the vehicle is driven
at a speed of about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less. The system is equipped with an assist device
to notify the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding
obstruction using a beep sound.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to confirm the
safety around your vehicle visually when driving.
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited,
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an accident.
Always confirm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.
