SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view on the upper display, red
markers will flash. This indicates that the
sonar system is activated.
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
upper display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shift lever posi-
tion.
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 indicator
(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 corner 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 SO-
NAR FUNCTION
When the Sonar/MOD keyis touched, the
indicator lighton the key will turn off and
the sonar will turn off temporarily. The
Moving Object Detection (MOD) system will
also be turned off at the same time. See
“Moving Object Detection (MOD)” (P.4-30).
When the Sonar/MOD key
is touched
again, the indicator lightwill turn on and
the sonar will turn back on.
In the cases below, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically:
. When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.

.When the CAMERA button is pushed
and a screen other than the camera view
is shown on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
To prevent the sonar system from activating
altogether, use the sonar system settings
menu.

Rear and front-side views
WAE0239X
Front-wide view / rear-wide viewWhen the MOD system detects moving
objects near the vehicle, a chime will be
heard and a yellow frame will be displayed
on the view where the objects are detected.
While the MOD system continues to detect
moving objects, the yellow frame continues
to be displayed.
NOTE:
While the sonar/Back-up Collision Inter-
vention (BCI) system (if so equipped) is
beeping, the MOD system does not chime.
In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame
is
displayed on each camera image (front, rear,
right, left) depending on where moving
objects are detected.
The yellow frame
is displayed on each
view in the front view, front-wide view, rear
view and rear-wide view modes.
A green MOD icon
is displayed in the view
where the MOD system is operative. A white
MOD icon
is displayed in the view where
the MOD system is not operative.
If the MOD system is turned off, the MOD
icon
is not displayed.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle
in accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or

. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental
conditions and surrounding objects
such as:
— When there is low contrast be- tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
— When there is blinking source of light.
— When strong light such as an- other vehicle’s headlight or sun-
light is present.
— When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when
mirror is folded.
