WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the sonar
function as outlined in this section
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The sonar is a convenience feature. Itis not a substitute for proper parking.
∙ This function is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.
∙ The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
∙ Always look around and check that it is safe to move before parking.
∙ Read and understand the limitations of the sonar as contained in this
section.
The sonar function helps to inform the
driver of large stationary objects around
the vehicle when parking by issuing an au-
dible and visual alert. 1. Center display

sensor) (if so equipped)
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-23

When the camera image is shown on the
center display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shif t 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 and rear
views indicate different distances to the
object.
When the objects are detected, the indica-
tor (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 af ter 3 sec-
onds 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 SONAR
FUNCTION
When the “Sonar” key is selected, the indi-
cator will turn off and the sonar will be
turned off temporarily. The Moving Object
Detection (MOD) system will also be turned
off at the same time. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Moving Object Detection
(MOD) in this section. When the “Sonar” key
is selected again, the indicator will turn on
and the sonar will turn back on.In the below cases, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically:
∙ When the shif t lever is placed in the “R” (Reverse) position.
∙ When the CAMERA or CAMERA

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ Inclement weather or ultrasonic sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect
the function of the system, including
reduced performance or a false
activation.
∙ The system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects. ∙ The system will not detect small ob-
jects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
∙ The system may not detect the fol- lowing objects:
– Fluff y objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects.
∙ If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone may be al-
tered causing inaccurate measure-
ment of objects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not
be heard.

System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Camera setting menu (the setting items
are grayed out), the sonar system may be
malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar sensors when
cleaning. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the sonar function will be
diminished.

designed to prevent contact with ob-
jects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirrors and rearview mirror and turn
and check the surroundings to ensure
it is safe to maneuver.
∙ The system is deactivated at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
∙ The MOD system is not designed to detect surrounding stationary
objects.
The MOD system can inform the driver of
moving objects near the vehicle when
backing out of garages, maneuvering in
parking lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects
by using image processing technology on

tions could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Do not use the MOD system whentowing a trailer. The system may not
function properly.
∙ 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 moving
objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a
mirror is folded.
