Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen ⇒ fig. . All distances of the orientation
lines refer to a vehicle on a level surface.
(1) Safety distance: Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind the vehicle on the road.
(2) Vehicle's width limits.
(3) Point to change steering angle.
When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking space boundary, the steering wheel
must be turned in the opposite direction (close-up view).
(4) The parking area parallel to the vehicle which is needed for parking. The area shown must fit
completely into the parking space.
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb.
Parking
x Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel to the parking space and shift
into reverse.
x On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for parallel parking.
x Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on the screen is flush with the side
boundary of the parking space (such as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another
vehicle.
x Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the parking space and slowly back
up.
x Once the yellow line (3) touches the side boundary of the parking space, such as a painted line or
a curb (close-up view), turn the steering wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction.
x Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking space parallel to the roadway. If
necessary, correct the parking position.
It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors to be displayed on the factory-
installed radio or navigation system screen.
WARNING
A cell phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the inside
of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle
occupants.
x Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as cup holders, telephone
brackets, notepads, navigation systems, large, heavy or bulky objects) on the doors, on the
windshield, over or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, instrument panel,
backrests or between these areas and the occupant. Such objects could cause serious injury
in a collision, especially if an airbag inflates.
WARNING
Using a cell phone or CB radio inside the vehicle without a properly installed and separate
outside antenna can be dangerous to your health and that of your passengers because the
electromagnetic radiation energy that cell phones and CB radios emit may be above
established limits. This also applies if the outside antenna is not installed properly.
x Always keep the cell phone antenna at least 8 in (20 cm) away from pacemakers. Heart
specialists advise that cell phones can adversely affect the way of pacemakers work.
x Never carry a cell phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly over a
pacemaker.
x If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch
the cell phone off immediately.
