Parking Distance Warning 
(Reverse) System (if equipped)
[A] : Sensor 
The Parking Distance Warning 
(Reverse) system assists the driver
during reverse movement of the vehi-
cle by chiming if any object is sensed
within approximately 120 cm (50 in)
behind the vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys- tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, itcannot detect objects in other areaswhere sensors are not installed.
Operation of the ParkingDistance Warning  (Reverse)
system
Operating condition
 This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch 
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3
mph), the system may not detect
objects.
 If the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), the system will not
warn you even though objects aredetected.
 When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
OAD048540L
ALWAYS look around your vehi- 
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention 
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects 
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.
WARNING

 Any non-factory equipment oraccessories have been installed, 
or if the vehicle bumper height orsensor installation has been modi-fied.
Detecting range may decrease when:
 Outside air temperature is extreme-ly 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 
recognized 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 operateconsistently in some circum-stances depending on the speed of
the vehicle and the shapes of theobjects 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 recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
 When the sensor is blocked with snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor.  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. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Extreme caution should always
be taken to avoid accidents or
vehicle injuries. Do not solely
rely on the Parking Distance
Warning (Reverse) system.
Always drive safely and cau-
tiously, especially when back-
ing up in reverse.
