Non-operational conditions ofParking Distance Warning(Reverse) system
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate
normally when:
• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of the Parking
Distance Warning (Reverse) system
malfunction when:
• Driving on uneven road surfacessuch as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
• Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sen-
sor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is pres- ent.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are present near the sen-
sor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.
• Any non-factory equipment or accessories have been installed,
or if the vehicle bumper height or
sensor installation has been modi-
fied.
Detecting range may decrease when:
• Outside air temperature isextremely hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 inches) and narrower than
14 cm (6 inches) in diameter.

The following objects may not be
recognised by the sensor:
• Sharp or slim objects such asropes, chains or small poles.
• Objects, which tend to absorb sen- sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Parking Distance Warning(Reverse) system precautions
• The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not sound
consistently depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
• The Parking Distance Warning (Reverse) system may malfunction
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
• The sensor may not recognise objects less than 30 cm (11 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a soft
cloth. • Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
• Do not spray the sensors or its sur- rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate
normally.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system. Always drive
safely and cautiously.

The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 inches) in front and 120 cm (47
inches) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Operation of the ParkingDistance Warning(Reverse/Forward) system
Operating condition
• This system will activate when the
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system button
is pressed with the engine running.
•ALWAYS look around your
vehicle to make sure there are
no objects or obstacles before

Auto defogging system
(only for automatic climate
control system, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibili-
ty of fogging up the inside of the wind-
screen by automatically sensing the
moisture on inside the windscreen.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below -10 °C.
To cancel or set the Auto Defogging
System, keep the front defroster but-
ton pressed for 3 seconds. The “ADS
OFF” symbol will be shown in the cli-
mate display to inform you that the
system is deactivated. To re-activate
the auto defogging system, follow the
procedure mentioned above and the
“ADS OFF” symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
Information
For efficiency, do not select recirculat-
ed air position whilst the Auto defog-
ging system is operating.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
windscreen glass.
Damage to system parts could
occur and may not be covered by
your vehicle warranty.
