2. CAUTIONS
The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking.
Always keep the safety precautions.
Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or using a high-pressure water gun while washing,
since it may damage the sensors.
If the system is in normal operating condition, a short beep sounds when the shift lever is moved
into "R" position with the ignition key "ON".
If the system is defective, the warning buzzer sounds for 3 seconds when moving the gear shift
lever to “R” position with the ignition ON. Be careful not to confuse this and the parking aid
alarm (in 50 cm). 1.

- Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area. Always check
nobody, especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle when parking or
reversing.
- If you can not properly check the vehicle behind, get out of the vehicle and then
visually check it.
The parking aid system will not work or improperly work under following cases: ▶
1) Certain obstacles that sensors can not detect
Thin and narrow objects, such as wires, ropes, chains
Cotton, sponge, clothes, snow; that absorb ultrasonic waves
Obstacles lower than the bumper (ex. drain ditch or mud puddle) -
-
-
2) Not defective but improperly working
When the sensing portion is frozen (operates normally after thawed)
When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud (operates normally after
cleaned)
When receiving other ultrasonic signals (metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial
vehicles)
When a high-power radio is turned on -
-
-
-
3) Narrowed sensing area
When the sensing portion is partially covered by snow or mud (operates normally after cleaned)
Surrounding temperature of sensor is too high (approx. over 80°C) or too low
(approx. below -30°C) -
-
4) Not defective but may cause malfunction
When driving on the rough roads, gravel road, hill and grass
When the bumper height is changed due to heavy load
When the sensing portion is frozen
When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud
When receiving other ultrasonic signals (metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial
vehicles)
When a high-power radio is turned on
When some accessories are attached in detecting ranges -

4) Infant and Child Safety
Children that are too small to use the seat belts must be properly secured in a child restraint system.
Do not place a child restraint system in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured
by an air bag inflation in case of an accident.
Use only the qualified child restraint systems. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation and use of the child restraint systems.
Do not carry your child on your lap while driving. You cannot resist against the impact pressure in
an accident. The child could be crushed between you and the parts of vehicle.
Remember that a child restraint seat left in a concealed vehicle can cause it to be very hot. Check
the seating surface before putting your child in the child restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use, remove it from the vehicle or keep it secured with a seat
belt to prevent it from being thrown forward in case of a sudden stop or an accident.
When installing a child restraint, do not let the seat belts come across the child’s neck. -
