Non-operational conditions of
Parking Assist System
Parking Assist System may not
operate normally when:
•Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
•The sensor is covered with dirt or
debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of Parking
Assist System malfunction when:
•Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradients.
•Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
•Heavy rain or water spray is present.
•Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
•The sensor is covered with snow.
•Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed, or
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified.
Detecting range may decrease when:
•Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
•Objects are smaller than 1 m and
narrower than 14 cm in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognised by the sensor:
•Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.

Parking assist system precau-
tions
•The parking assist system may not
operate consistently in some cir-
cumstances depending on the
speed of the vehicle and the
shapes of the objects detected.
•The parking assist system may mal-
function if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been
modified or damaged. Any non-fac-
tory installed equipment or acces-
sories may also interfere with the
sensor performance.
•The sensor may not recognise
objects less than 40 cm from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor-
rect distance. Use caution.
•When the sensor is blocked with
snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the park-
ing assist system may be inopera-
tive until the snow or ice melts, or
the debris is removed. Use a soft
cloth to wipe debris away from the
sensor.
•Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
•Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Yo u r n e w v e h i c l e w a r r a n t y d o e s
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.

air or recirculated air.
To c h a n g e t h e a i r i n t a k e c o n t r o l p o s i -
tion, press the control button.
Recirculated air position

enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Information
It should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heater in the recircu-
lated air position (without air condi-
tioning selected) will cause fogging of
the windscreen and side windows and
the air within the passenger compart-
ment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger com-
partment.
