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 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 dis-
tance guide lines in the front and rear 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 Sonar key is selected, the indicatorB
will 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 Sonar key is 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 “Camera”
menu. For additional information, refer to
“Sonar function settings” in this section.
