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

sounded by the sonar function to warn the
driver.
far-away as practical from the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Al-
ways use the seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with
sensors that detect if the seat belts
are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag
System monitors the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage then
inflates the air bags. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with occupant classifica-
tion sensors (weight sensors) that
turn the front passenger air bag
OFF under some conditions. This
sensor is only used in this seat.
Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-60) .
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could in-
crease the risk of injury if the front air bag inflates.
