This system is a supplemental system and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing range and objects detectable by the
back sensors ( ➀) are limited. Whenever
backing-up, pay as much attention to
what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a rear parking assist
system.
