Do not apply a strong force to a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera:
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurized water against a
rear ultrasonic sensor and rear camera,
or rub it strongly. In addition, do not
hit the rear bumper forcefully when
loading and unloading cargo.
Otherwise, the sensors may not detect
obstructions correctly which could
cause the SBS-R system to not operate
normally, or it could operate
unnecessarily.
CAUTION
When driving off-road in areas where
there is grass or foliage, it is
recommended that the
SBS-R system
be turned off.
 Always use tires of the specified size
and the same manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels. In
addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns
on the same vehicle. Otherwise, the
SBS-R system may not operate
normally.
 If ice or snow is stuck on the rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera
they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on
the conditions. In such cases, the
system may not be able to perform
controls correctly. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the
rear of the vehicle.
NOTE
The vehicle posture changes
depending on the accelerator pedal,
brake pedal and steering wheel
operations, which could make it
difficult for the system to recognize
an obstruction, or it could facilitate
unnecessary detection. In such cases,
the SBS-R may or may not operate.
The SBS-R system will operate under
the following conditions.
The engine is running.The shift lever (manual
transmission ve hicle) or the
selector lever (automatic
transmission vehicl e) is in the R
(reverse) position.
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
The vehicle speed is between
about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
The SBS-R is not turned off.The DSC is not malfunctioning.In the following cases, the rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera
cannot detect obstructions and the
SBS-R may not operate.
The height of the obstruction is
low such as low walls or trucks
with low loading platforms.
The height of the obstruction is
high such as trucks with high
loading platforms.
The obstruction is small.The obstruction is thin such as a
signpost.

the vehicle from directly above on
the center display by combining the
images taken from the 4 cameras set
on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the
screen when the front view or rear
view screen is being displayed. The
top view assists the driver in
checking the area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving
forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the
vehicle is displayed on the center
display.
The view from the front assists the
driver in checking the front of the
vehicle by displaying guide lines on
the displayed image taken from the
front of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left
and right sides of the vehicle are

Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the
vehicle while the top view/side view
is displayed, an obstruction
detection indication turns on around
the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic
sensors to detect obstructions
around the vehicle when the vehicle
is driven at low speeds, such as
during garage or parallel parking,
and notifies the driver of the
approximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding
obstruction using sound and an
obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on
page 4-222.
