Rear parking assist system
(if equipped )
The Rear Parking Assist System aids
the driver during backward move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within the distance
of about 120 cm (47 in.) behind the
vehicle. This is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Information
The system may not recognize objects
less than 30 cm (12 in.) from the sensor,
or it may sense an incorrect distance.
Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.

Key ignition switch
Whenever the front door is opened,
the ignition switch will illuminate, pro-
vided the ignition switch is not in the
ON position. The light will go off
immediately when the ignition switch
is turned on or go off after about 30
seconds when the door is closed. (if
equipped)

•NEVER turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK or ACC
position while the vehicle is in
motion except in an emer-
gency. This will result in the
engine turning off and loss of
power assist for the steering
and brake systems. This may
lead to loss of directional con-
trol and braking function,
which could cause an acci-
dent.

WARNING
(Continued)
•Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in 1st gear (for
manual transaxle vehicle) or P
(Park, for automatic transaxle
vehicle) position, apply the
parking brake, and turn igni-
tion switch to the LOCK posi-
tion.
Unexpected vehicle move-
ment may occur if these pre-
cautions are not followed.
