When the vehicle is in DRIVE or NON-REVERSE for
manual transmission, the ParkSense® Warning screen
will be displayed when an obstacle is detected.

a single arc in one or more regions based on the obstacle’s
distance and location relative to the vehicle.
If an obstacle is detected in the center front region, the
display will show a single arc in the center front region.
As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the display
will show the single arc moving closer to the vehicle.A fast sound tone will be produced when reaching the
2nd flashing arc and will change to a continuous sound
tone when the 1st flashing arc appears.
If an obstacle is detected in the left and/or right front
region, the display will show a single flashing arc in the
left and/or right front region and will produce a fast
sound tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle,
the display will show the single arc moving closer to the
vehicle and the tone will change from fast to continuous.
