Operating conditions
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist system enters the ready status,
when 'Active Assist' or 'Warning Only' is
selected in the AVN system screen and
the following conditions are satisfied:
• The trunk is closed
• The shift lever is in R (Reverse)
• Vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph)
• System components such as the rear
view camera and the rear ultrasonic
sensors are in normal conditions
The driver needs to select 'Active Assist'
on the LCD display or infotainment
system display for collision-avoidance
assist.
The solid lines behind the vehicle in the
cluster LCD display indicates that the
system is ready to assist the driver.
Note that the system assists the driver
only once. The driver has to shift the gear
to R (Reverse) from another gear position
to reactivate the system.
The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist system may
vary under certain conditions. If the
vehicle speed exceeds 3 km/h (2 mph),
the system can assist only pedestrian
collision avoidance.
As always, be careful when backing
up your vehicle and be aware of your
surroundings.

• If the system detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or an object behind
the vehicle, the system will warn the
driver with audible warning, steering
wheel vibration, and warnings on
the cluster LCD display and the
infotainment system display.
• If the system detects imminent collision with a pedestrian or an object
behind the vehicle, the system may
apply braking power. The driver needs
to pay attention as the brake will
release within 2 seconds. The driver
must immediately depress the brake
pedal and check surroundings.

The brake assist will turn off when:
- The driver shifts the gear to P (Park) or
D (Drive)
- The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power
- The braking has been assisted for approximately 2 seconds
The warning will turn off when:
- The driver shifts the gear to P (Park), N (Neutral), or D (Drive)
The brake control may not operate
properly depending on the status of the
ESC (Electronic Stability Control). There
will only be a warning when:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function
Warning only
• If the system detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or an object, the
system will warn the driver with
audible warning and warnings on the
cluster LCD display or infotainment
system display.
• If ‘Warning Only’ is selected, braking will not be assisted.
The warning will turn off when:
- The driver shifts the gear to P (Park), N (Neutral), or D (Drive)
WARNING
• Reverse Parking Collision- Avoidance Assist system may
not operate properly or may
operate unnecessarily in some
circumstances.
• Always pay extreme caution while driving. The driver is responsible for
controlling the brake appropriately.
CAUTION
• Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions while driving, whether or not there is a warning.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occupants from hearing Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system warning sounds.
• If any other warning sound, such as seat belt warning chime, is already generated, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system warning may not sound.
Information
The system can detect a pedestrian or an object when:
- A pedestrian is standing behind the vehicle.
- A large obstacle, such as a vehicle, is parked in the rear center of the vehicle.

Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system assists the driver during reverse
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
an object is sensed within the distance of
120 cm (48 in) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
that senses objects within the range and
location of the sensors, it cannot detect
objects in other areas where sensors are
not installed.
WARNING
• ALWAYS look around your vehicle to
make sure there are not any objects
or obstacles before moving the
vehicle in any direction to prevent a
collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
• Be aware that some objects may
not be visible on the screen or be
detected by the sensors, due to the
objects distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effectiveness
of the sensor.
Operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning System
Operating condition • This system will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch in
the ON position. However, if vehicle
speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph), the
system may not detect objects.
• If vehicle speed exceeds 10km/h (6
mph), the system will not warn you
even though objects are detected.
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.

system may not operate normally when: • Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• Sensor is covered with foreign matter,
such as snow or water, or the sensor
cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of Reverse
Parking Distance Warning system
malfunction when: • Driving on uneven road surfaces such
as unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, or
gradient.
• Objects generating excessive
noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sensor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is present.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.
• Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed, or if
the vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified.

The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor: •
Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
• Objects, which tend to absorb sensor
frequency such as clothes, spongy
material or snow.
• Undetectable objects smaller than 100
cm (40 in) and narrower than 14 cm (6
in) in diameter.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to the
vehicle or injuries to its occupants
related to Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system. Always drive safely
and cautiously.
Reverse Parking Distance
Warning System Precautions
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system may not sound consistently depending on the speed and shapes
of the objects detected.
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installation
has been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
• The sensor may not recognize objects
less than 30 cm (12 in) from the
sensor, or it may sense an incorrect
distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is frozen or stained
with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
• Do not spray the sensors or its
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
