WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
sonar function as outlined in this
section could result in serious injury
or death.
.The sonar is a convenience fea-
ture. It is not a substitute for
proper parking.
. This function is designed as an
aid to the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
. The driver is always responsible
for safety during parking and
other maneuvers.
. Always look around and check
that it is safe to move before
parking.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions 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.

4. SETTING buttonSONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for front
objects when the shift lever is in the D
(Drive) position and both front and rear
objects when the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the
CAMERA AIDING SONAR FUNCTION (models
with Intelligent Around View Monitor)

center display, the system shows the
sonar indicator regardless of the shift
lever position.
The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-
wide, rear and rear-wide views indicate
different distances to the object.
When the objects are detected, the in-
dicator (green) appears and blinks and
the tone sounds intermittently. When the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the
color of the indicator turns yellow and the
rate of the blinking and the rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very
close to the object, the indicator stops
blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3
seconds when an object is detected by
only the sonar and the distance does not
change.
The tone will stop when the object is no
longer near the vehicle.

TURNING ON AND OFF THE SONAR
FUNCTION
When the Sonar/MOD keyis selected,
the indicatorwill turn off and the sonar
will be turned off temporarily. The Moving
Object Detection (MOD) system will also
be turned off at the same time. (See
“Moving Object Detection (MOD)” (P.4-
28).) When the Sonar/MOD key
is
selected again, the indicatorwill turn
on and the sonar will turn back on.
In the below cases, the sonar will be
turned back on automatically:
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position. .

and a screen other than the camera
view is shown on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position and turned back to
the ON position again.
To deactivate the sonar system comple-
tely, use the “Sonar” settings. See “Sonar
function settings” (P.4-26).

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions 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 reduced performance
or a false activation.
. This function is designed as an
aid to the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
. 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 bumper or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following 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 in-
accurate measurement of objects

or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio sys-
tem volume or an open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the tone and
it may not be heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
“Sonar” settings (the setting items are
grayed out), the sonar system may be
malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sen-
sors (located on the front and rear
bumper fascia) free from accumula-
tions of snow, ice and dirt. Do not
scratch the surface of the sonar
sensors when cleaning. If the sen-
sors are covered, the accuracy of thesonar function will be diminished.
