Parking  System 
_& WARNING 
-Sensors  have  dead  spaces  in which  ob jects 
cannot  be  detected.  Be especially  alert  for 
small  chi ldren  and  animals,  since  they  are 
not  always  detected  by the  sensors. 
- The  acoustic  parking  system  is not  a  substi
tute  for  the  driver's  own  caution  and  alert
ness.  Ultimate  responsibility  always  remains 
with  the  driver  during  parking  and  simi lar 
maneuvers . Always  watch  where  you  are 
dr iv ing . 
- Yo u should  always  adjust  the  volume  and 
frequency  of  the  warning  tones  so  that  you 
can  eas ily hea r the  acoustic  distance  warn
ing 
even if  the  radio  is  p lay ing,  the  air-cond i
t ioner  blower  is  on  High  or  there  is a  high 
level  of  outs ide  noise . 
- Chec k the  settings  whenever  anyone  e lse 
has  driven  t he veh icle  before  you. 
(D Note 
- Remember  that  low  obstacles  for  which  a 
warning  has  already  been  issued  may  "dive" 
below  the  system 's  sens ing  zone  if the  vehi
cle  is  being  backed  up closer.  In  this  case, 
the  warn ing  sound  shutting  off  does 
not in 
dicate  that  you  have  cleared  the  obstacle . 
Ins tead,  impact  is  imm inent. 
- Objects  such  as  tra ile r hitches , cha ins,  nar 
r ow  posts  or  fences 
cove red by a th in  layer 
of  pa int  may  no t always  be  dete cte d by  the 
system.  T hey  can  still damage  your  vehicle 
wi tho ut  warn ing.
