headlamps is shining directly
into the camera lens.

builds up on the camera lens.
Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft
cloth.

accident. The position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera, can

Parking Assist
If equipped, Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) assists the driver with parking
and avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). RPA operates at
speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensors on the rear bumper
detect objects up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft)
behind the vehicle, and at least
20 cm (8 in) off the ground. The
distance at which objects can be
detected may be less during warmer
or humid weather.
{Warning
The parking assist system does
not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle.
It is not available at speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To
prevent injury, death, or vehicle
damage, even with parking assist,
always check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.
