ignition is ON, the system is activated .

• If the vehicle is moving at speeds over 3 mph, the system may not activate correctly
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest one will be recognized first
The Back-Up Warning System is not a substitute for proper and safe backing-up procedures. Always drive safely and use caution when backing up. The Back-Up Warning System may not detect every object behind the vehicle.
