uuParking Your Vehicle uCross Traffic Monitor*
Driving
The system activates when:
• The power mode is in ON.
• The Cross Traffic Monito r system is turned
on.
2 Cross Traffic Monitor On and Off P. 511
•The shift lever is in (R.
• Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or
lower.
When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.
The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly
behind your vehicle.
The system does not detect or provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from
your vehicle, and it may not detect or ale rt for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary
objects.
■How the System Works1 Cross Traffic Monitor*
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect an approaching
vehicle, or may delay aler ting you under the following
conditions:
•A vehicle, which is parked adjacent to your vehicle,
is blocking the radar sensor’s view.
•Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph
(5 km/h) or higher.
•A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than
between about 6 and 16 mph (10 and 25 km/h).
•The system picks up external interference such as
other radar sensors from an other vehicle or strong
radio wave transmitted fr om a facility nearby.
•Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with
snow, ice, mud or dirt.
•When there is bad weather.
•Your vehicle is on an incline.•Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.
•The rear bumper or the sensors have been
improperly repaired or the rear bumper has been
deformed. Have a vehicle checked by a dealer.
For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper
corner area clean.
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels
or stickers of any kind.
