The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.Parking distance warning-
reverse precautions
The parking distance warning-reverse may not sound consistent-
ly depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
The parking distance warning- reverse 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 perform-
ance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov- ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until the
material is removed using a soft
cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors. It cannot 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.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.

The parking distance warning assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 in) in front or behind the vehicle. The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever moving, pay as much
attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking distance warn-
ing.

WARNING - Parking dis-
tance warning
The parking distance warning is not a substitute for proper
and safe parking and backing-
up procedures. Always drive
safely and use caution when
parking. The parking distance
warning may not detect every
object behind or in front of the
vehicle.
Never rely solely on the park- ing distance warning. Always
perform a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear
of all obstructions before mov-
ing 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 material.

can interfere with the sensor.
3. The weather conditions produce heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are present near the sen-
sor.
5. Sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
2. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (39 in.) and narrower than 14
cm (5.5 in.) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
