Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not sound consistently depending on the speed andshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumperheight or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a softcloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.✽✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.WARNING
Pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object’s
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.

The parking assist system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object issensed within the distance of 100 cm(39 in.) in front and 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 sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever moving pay as muchattention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.
Operation of the parking assist system
Operating condition
This system activates when the
parking assist system button is
pressed with the ignition switch ON.
The indicator of the parking assist system button turns on automati-
cally and activates the parking
assist system when you shift the
gear to the R (Reverse) position. It
will turn off automatically when you
drive above 20 km/h (12.4 mph).

can be affected by many factors
and conditions of the surround-
ings, so the responsibility rests
always with the driver.

NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield,
defrost the windshield for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or ice
is removed before using the wind-
shield wipers to ensure proper oper-
ation. If you do not remove the snow
and/or ice before using the wiper
and wash-er, it may damage the
Wiper and washer system.Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates. When the rain stops,
the wiper stops. To vary the speed setting, turn thespeed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ignition switch is ON,
the wiper will operate once to per-
form a self-check of the system. Setthe wiper to OFF (O) position when
the wiper is not in use.

Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked indirect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
Use air conditioning to reduce humidity and moisture inside the
vehicle on rainy or humid days.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionallynotice a slight change in enginespeed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance. When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristic. Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dustor other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through theheating and air conditioning system.
