WARNING
∙ The RSS is a convenience but it is not asubstitute for proper parking.
∙ The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other ma-
neuvers. Always look around and
check that it is safe to do so before
parking.
∙ Read and understand the limitations of the RSS as contained in this section.
The colors of the corner sonar indica-
tor and the distance guide lines in the
rear view indicate different distances
to the object.
∙ 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; this may
include reduced performance or a
false activation.
∙ This function is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle. ∙ The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
Always move slowly. 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 fol- lowing objects: fluff y objects such as
snow, cloth, cotton, glass, wool, etc.;
thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.; or 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 ob-
stacles 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. ∙ Keep the sonar sensors (located on
the bumper fascia) free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp ob-
jects. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the sonar function will be
diminished.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The system informs with a visual and au-
dible alert of rear obstacles when the shif t
lever is in the R (Reverse) position.

Range Sound Display Roo
o – Display/Beep when detect
† – Display on camera view
x – No Display and Beep
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The intermittent tone will stop af ter 3 sec-
onds when an obstacle is detected by only
the corner sensor and the distance does
not change. The tone will stop when the
obstacle gets away from the vehicle.

ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION
This system uses microphones1located
inside the vehicle to detect engine boom-
ing noise. The system then automatically
generates a noise canceling sound
through the speakers and woofer (if so
equipped) to reduce engine booming
noise. NOTE:
To operate the active noise cancellation
system properly:
∙ Do not cover the speakers or woofer
(if so equipped).
∙ Do not cover the microphones.
∙ Do not change or modif y speakers in-
cluding the woofer (if so equipped)
and any audio related components
such as the amplifier. ∙
Do not make any modification includ-
ing sound deadening or modifica-
tions around the microphones or
speakers.
ACTIVE SOUND ENHANCEMENT
Active sound enhancement enhances ex-
isting engine sounds according to the en-
gine speed and driving modes through the
speakers and woofer (if so equipped).
