WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the sonar function
as outlined in this section could result in
serious injury or death.
●The sonar is a convenience feature. It is
not a substitute for proper parking.
● This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
● Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
● Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar as contained in this section.
The sonar function helps to inform the driver of
large stationary objects around the vehicle when
parking by issuing an audible and visual alert. 1. Center display

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for front objects when
the shift lever is in the “D” (Drive) position and
both front and rear objects when the shift lever is
in the “R” (Reverse) position.
LHA4245
CAMERA AIDING SONAR (parking
sensor) (if so equipped)
4-40Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

When the camera image is shown on the center
display, the system shows the sonar indicator
regardless of the shift lever position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the dis-
tance guide lines in the front, front-wide, rear, and
rear-wide views indicate different distances to
the object.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow
and the rate of the blinking and the rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no longer
near the vehicle.
TURNING ON AND OFF THE
SONAR FUNCTION
When the “” keyAis selected, the indica-
tor
Bwill turn off and the sonar will be turned off
temporarily. The Moving Object Detection
(MOD) system will also be turned off at the same
time. For additional information, refer to “Moving
Object Detection (MOD) in this section. When
the key
Ais selected again, the indicator will
turn on and the sonar will turn back on.
In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:
● When the shift lever is placed in the “R”
(Reverse) position. ●
When the CAMERA button is pressed and a
screen other than the camera view is shown
on the display.
● When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● When the ignition switch is placed in the
“OFF” position and turned back to the “ON”
position again. To prevent the sonar system
from activating altogether, use the “Sonar”
menu. For additional information, refer to
“Sonar function settings” in this section.

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the sonar function. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
● Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car wash,
a trucks’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the system, including reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
● The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
● The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
● The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain. – Wedge-shaped objects.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at the
corners of the vehicle icon and the function can-
not be activated from the Camera setting menu
(the setting items are grayed out) , the sonar

WARNING
●Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Moving
Object Detection system could result in
serious injury or death.
● The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with objects
surrounding the vehicle. When maneu-
vering, always use the outside mirrors
and rearview mirror and turn and check
the surroundings to ensure it is safe to
maneuver.
● The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
● The MOD system is not designed to
detect surrounding stationary objects.
The MOD system can inform the driver of moving
objects near the vehicle when backing out of
garages, maneuvering in parking lots and in other
such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the image
shown in the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically under
the following conditions: ● When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
● When the CAMERA button is pressed to
activate the camera view on the display.
● When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and the camera
screen is displayed.
The MOD system operates in the following con-
ditions when the camera view is displayed:● When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position and the vehicle is stopped,
the MOD system detects moving objects in
the bird’s-eye view. The MOD system will
not operate if the outside mirrors are moving
in or out, in the stowed position, or if either
front door is opened.
● When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-
tion and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 6 mph (10 km/h), the MOD system
detects moving objects in the front view.

ing a trailer. The system may not func-
tion properly.
● Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
● The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such
as:
– When there is low contrast between background and the moving objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present. – When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when a mirror
is folded.
