zWhen on, the indicator light comes on to
inform the driver that the system is opera-
tional.
The distance from your vehicle to near-
by obstacles when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage is measured
by the sensors and communicated via
the multi-information display, Remote
Touch screen and a buzzer. Always
check the surrounding area when using
this system.

■BUZZER OPERATION AND
DISTANCE TO AN OBSTACLE
zThe buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle
approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the follow-
ing distance of the obstacle, the buzzer
sounds continuously:
• Front centre sensors: Approximately
30 cm (1.0 ft.)
• Corner sensors: Approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.)
• Rear centre sensors: Approximately 35 cm (1.1 ft.)
z When 2 or more obstacles are detected
simultaneously, the buzzer system
responds to the nearest obstacle. If one or
both come within the above distances, the
beep will repeat a long tone, followed by
fast beeps.
Approximately 100 cm (3.3 ft.)
Approximately 150 cm (4.9 ft.)
Approximately 60 cm (2.0 ft.)
zThe diagram shows the detection range of
the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot
detect obstacles that are extremely close to
the vehicle.
z The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object etc.
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are
operating.

zFront centre sensors:
• The engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in a position other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
z Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
z Rear corner and rear centre sensors:
• The engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in R. z
There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor.
(Wiping the sensors will resolve this prob-
lem.)
z The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will
resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is fro-
zen the screen may show an abnormal dis-
play, or obstacles may not be detected.
z The sensor is covered in any way.
z The vehicle is leaning considerably to one
side.
z On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
z The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to
vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, or other loud
noises producing ultrasonic waves.
z There is another vehicle equipped with
parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
z The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray
or heavy rain.
z The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole
or wireless antenna.
z Towing eyelets are installed.

SENSOR DISPLAY
When an obstacle is detected while the
rear view monitor system, is in use, the
warning indicator will appear in the top
right of the screen even if the display set-
ting has been set to off.
SENSOR DETECTION
INFORMATION
The sensor’s detection areas are limited
to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumpers.
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect
obstacles. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
