Rear parking assist system
(if equipped )
The Rear Parking Assist System aids
the driver during rearward movement
of the vehicle by chiming if any object
is sensed within the distance of about
120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This is a supplemental system that
senses objects within the range and
location of the sensors. It cannot
detect objects in other areas where
sensors are not installed.
Information
The system may not recognize objects
less than 30 cm (12 in.) from the sensor,
or it may sense an incorrect distance.Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
