Parking Sensor System
*Some models.
Parking Sensor System *
The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle
while parking the vehicle in a garage or during parallel parking when the shift lever (manual
transmission)/selector lever (automatic transmission) is in reverse (R). The system is
equipped with an assist device to notify the driver of the approximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding obstruction using a beep sound.
Rear corner sensorRear sensor
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to con¿ rm the safety
around your vehicle visually when driving.
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the backward directions
while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited, therefore, driving the
vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an accident. Always con¿ rm the
safety around your vehicle visually when driving.

Bluetooth
® audio outline
When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth
® communication function is paired
to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable audio device from the
vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio device to the vehicle's
external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/
stop the audio.
NOTE
  For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle
starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before
pairing.
  The communication range of a Bluetooth ® equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft)
or less.
  Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetooth ® is not
connected.
  For safety reasons, operation of the centre display is disabled while the vehicle is being
driven. However, items not displayed in grey can be operated using the commander
switch while the vehicle is being driven.
