Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system assists the driver during
reverse movement of the vehicle by
chiming if any object is sensed with-
in the distance of 48 in (120 cm)
behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning system
Operating condition
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system will activate when backing
up with the ignition switch in the
ON position. However, if vehicle
speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h), the
system may not detect objects.

distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effec-
tiveness of the sensor.

There is a possibility of Reverse
Parking Distance Warning system
malfunction when:
Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
Heavy rain or water spray is present.
Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
The sensor is covered with snow.
Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed, or
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
Outside air temperature is extreme-
ly hot or cold.
Undetectable objects smaller than
40 in (100 cm) and narrower than 6
in (14 cm) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow. Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system can only sense
objects within the range and
location of the sensors; It can-
not detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Also, small or slim objects, such
as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be
detected by the sensors.

Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system precautions
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system may not sound consistently
depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system may malfunction if the vehi-
cle bumper height or sensor instal-
lation has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may
also interfere with the sensor per-
formance.
The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 12 in (30 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a soft
cloth.
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. Shock applied
from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate
normally.

tion and if one or more of the below
occurs you may have a malfunction
in the Parking Distance Warning sys-
tem.
