system assists the driver during back-
ward movement of the vehicle by
chiming if any object is sensed within
a distance of 48 in (120 cm) behind

replace the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing
range and objects detectable by rear

attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a Reverse

ately if you are aware of a child
or other person anywhere near
your vehicle. Some objects may
not be detected by the sensors,
due to the object's size or mate-
rial.
