The back-up warning system assists
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 a
back-up warning system.
Operation of the back-up warn-
ing system
Operating condition
This system will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.) at the rear bumper center area,
60 cm (23.5 in.) at the rear bumper
both side area.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Warning system. Always per-
form a visual inspection to make
sure the vehicle is clear of all
obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction. Stop
immediately if you are aware of
a child anywhere near your vehi-
cle. Some objects may not be
detected by the sensors, due to
the object's size or material.

This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through the AVN monitor while back-
ing-up. The rearview camera is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe backing-up
procedures. Always drive safely and
use caution when backing up. The
rearview camera may not display
every object behind the vehicle.
❈If your vehicle is equipped with
AVN(Audio, Video and Navigation)

WARNING - Backing Up &
Using Camera
Never rely solely on the rear
view camera display when
backing up. Prior to entering
your vehicle always do a visual
check of the area behind your
vehicle, and before backing up
be aware of your surroundings
and supplement the rear view
camera by looking over your
shoulders and checking your
rear view mirrors. Due to the dif-
ficulty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear,
always back up slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.
