SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
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 acti-
vation.
. The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy 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
altered 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.
See “Front and rear sonar system” (P.5-126)
for more information on the sonar system
and limitations.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Parking sonar settings menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system may
be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar (located on
the front and rear bumper fascia) free
from accumulations of snow, ice and dirt.
Do not scratch the surface of the sonar
when cleaning. If the sensors are cov-
ered, the accuracy of the sonar function

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Mov-
ing Object Detection system could resultin serious injury or death.
.
The MOD system is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation and is
not designed to prevent contact with
the objects surrounding the vehicle.
When maneuvering, always use the
outside mirror and rearview mirror
and turn and check the surrounding
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 the surrounding stationary
objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
can inform the driver of the moving objects
surrounding the vehicle when driving out of
garages, maneuvering into parking lots and
in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown on the display.
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)

MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
.When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
. When the CAMERA button is pushed to
activate the camera view on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h) and the
camera screen is displayed.
The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:
. When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the bird’s-eye view. The
MOD system will not operate if the
outside mirrors are moving in or out, in
the stowed position, or if either front
door is opened.
. When the shift lever is in the D (Drive)
position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the
MOD system detects moving objects in
the front view or front-wide view.
. When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the
MOD system detects moving objects in the rear view or rear-wide view.
The MOD system will not operate if the
liftgate is open.
The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD icon
is not displayed on the screen when in this
view.
