Reverse Parking Distance Warning
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 48 in. (120 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and it is not intended to nor does it
replace the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing
range and objects detectable by rear
ultrasonic sensors are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without Reverse
Parking Distance Warning.
Operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning
Operating condition
This system will activate when
backing up with the Engine
Start/Stop button is turned ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated.
The sensing distance while the
back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 48 in. (120
cm) at the rear bumper center
area, 24 in. (60 cm) at the rear
bumper side areas.
When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Never rely solely on Reverse
Parking Distance Warning.
Always perform a visual inspec-
tion to make sure the vehicle is
clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion. Stop immediately if you are
aware of a child anywhere near
your vehicle. Some objects may
not be detected by the sensors,
due to the object's size or mate-
rial.

WARNING
Always look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no

The system might not assist
the driver leading to pedestri-
an injury or vehicle damage.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
rear ultrasonic sensors, due
to the objects’ distance, size
or material, all of which can
limit the effectiveness of the
sensors.
