WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could
result in serious injury or death.. The Around View® Monitor is a con-
venience feature and is not a sub- stitute for proper vehicle operation
because it has areas where objects
cannot be viewed. The four corners of
the vehicle in particular, are areas
where objects do not always appear
in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear views.
Always check your surroundings to be
sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly. Always look outthe windows and check mirrors to be
sure that it is safe to move.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other man-
euvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt
or snow from the front of the camera.
The Around View® Monitor system is de-
signed as an aid to the driver in situations
such as slot parking or parallel parking.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR
FUNCTION (models with Around
View® Monitor)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions 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 station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other man-
euvers.
. 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.

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air brakes
or a pneumatic drill may affect the function of the system, including re-
duced performance or a false activa-
tion.
. The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
— Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
objects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Camera/Sonar setting menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system
may be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of snow,
ice and dirt. Do not scratch the surface of
the sonar sensors when cleaning. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy of the
sonar function will be diminished.
