Rear parking system
Description
A pplies to: ve hicles with rear park ing system
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid .
Desc ripti on
There is a sensor in the rear bumper cover. If
these detect an obstacle, audible signals warn
you .
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For informat ion on
cleaning, see
c::;.page 266 .
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:
side 3 ft (0.90 m)
rear
center 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals . A con
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away.
