the driver during backward move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within a distance of
120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver. The sens-
ing range and objects detectable by
the back sensors are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as
you would in a vehicle without the
back-up warning system.
Operation of the back-up
warning system
Operating condition
This system will activate whenbacking up with the ignition switch
ON.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
Types of warning sound
When an object is 120 cm to 61 cm(47 in. to 24 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermittently.
When an object is 61 cm to 31 cm (23 in. to 12 in.) from the rear

quently.
When an object is within 30 cm (11 in.) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.
