recirculates and helps to quickly
cool the air inside the vehicle. It can
be used to reduce the outside air
and odors that may enter the
vehicle.
Using the recirculation mode for
extended periods may cause the

Driving and Operating 9-31Warning (Continued) or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms.
The Rear Parking Assist (RPA)
sounds a tone to warn the driver of
obstacles near the rear bumper
when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse). The system may not
detect objects at speeds above
5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The RPA detects objects up to 1.8 m
(5.9 ft) from the rear bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper. As you
move closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the tone increases. When the
obstacle is less than 25 cm (10 in)
away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the RPA detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25 cm (10 in) from the side of
the vehicle, the tone will sound for only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.
The RPA automatically turns on
when the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition switch
is in ON. The RPA OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the
driver to turn the RPA on and off. To
turn the RPA off, the ignition switch
must be placed in ON. An indicator
light on the switch will illuminate
when the system is turned off. If the
indicator light illuminates when the
RPA is not turned off, it may indicate
a malfunction in the RPA.
Keep the RPA sensors, located on
the rear bumper, free from snow,
ice, and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered,
it will affect the accuracy of
the RPA. Rear Vision
Camera (RVC) When the shift lever is shifted into
R (Reverse), the display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
{ Warning .
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions for proper
use of the Rear Vision
Camera (RVC) could result in
serious injury or death. .
The RVC is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn
and look out the windows,
and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always
back up slowly. .

help avoid damaging the
vehicle. .
The system cannot
completely eliminate blind
spots and may not show
every object. .
Underneath the bumper and
the corner areas of the
bumper cannot be viewed on
the RVC display because of
its monitoring range limitation.
The system will not show
small objects below the
bumper, and may not show
objects close to the bumper
or on the ground. .
Objects viewed on the RVC
display differ from actual
distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
(Continued) Warning (Continued) .
Objects on the RVC display
will appear visually opposite
than when viewed in the
rearview and outside mirrors. .
Make sure that the back
doors are securely closed
when backing up. .
Do no put anything on the
rearview camera. The
rearview camera is installed
on the back door. .
When washing the vehicle
with high pressure water, be
sure not to spray it around
the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit
causing water condensation
on the lens, a malfunction,
fire, or an electric shock. .
Do not strike the camera. It is
a precision instrument.
Otherwise, it may malfunction
or cause damage resulting in
a fire or an electric shock. { CautionThere is a plastic cover over the
camera. Do not scratch the cover
when cleaning dirt or snow from
the cover.

is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects. Backing up on a Steep Uphill

When backing up the vehicle up a
hill, the distance guidelines and the
vehicle width guidelines are shown
closer than the actual distance. For
example, the display shows 1 m
(3 ft) to 1, but the actual 1 m (3 ft)
distance on the hill is 2. Note that
any object on the hill is further than
it appears on the display.
