causing water condensation on the
lens, a malfunction, fire or an elec-
tric shock.
. Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so
could cause a malfunction or cause
damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock. The following are operating limitations and do

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions 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 limita-
tions of the sonar as contained in
this section.
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
the object while the Around View
ŠMonitor is
displayed, an indicator is displayed and a tone is
sounded by the sonar function to warn the
driver.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR
FUNCTION (models with Around
View
ŠMonitor)

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.
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
distance 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 sonar
and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no longer
near the vehicle.
JVH1152X
TURNING ON AND OFF THE SONAR
FUNCTION
When the “” key*Ais selected, the
indicator
*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. (See “Moving Object Detec-
tion (MOD)” (P.4-46) .) 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. .
