SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions 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 activation.
. The system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or
moving objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and
may not detect objects close to
the bumper 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 in-
accurate measurement of objects
or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio sys-
tem volume or an open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the tone and
it may not be heard.
See “Front and rear sonar system” (P.5-
136) 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 (lo-
cated 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 covered, the accu-
racy of the sonar function will be
diminished.

system could result in serious injury
or death.
.
The I-BI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dure, is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects
and does not provide full brake
power. When backing out of park-
ing spaces, always use the inside
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the I-
BI system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar or the
sonar. Using the I-BI system un-
der some road, ground, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own operation
to avoid accidents.
The I-BI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind
the vehicle when the driver is backing out
of a parking space.

INTELLIGENT BACK-UP
INTERVENTION (I-BI) (if so equipped)

.The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect
every object such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
or child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain
situations:
— Illustration a. When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration b. When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking
space.
— Illustration c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
— Illustration d. When an ap- proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles: — Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The sonar sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft
(30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. The brake engagement by the I-
BI system is not as effective on a
slope as it is on flat ground. When
on a steep slope the system may
not function properly.
. Do not use the I-BI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function properly.
— When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
. When towing a trailer or other
vehicle, turn the I-BI system off to
prevent the occurrence of an un-
expected accident resulting from
sudden system operation. (See “I-
BI system operation” (P.5-65).)
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

function may not operate or the
start of the operation may be
delayed. The RAB system may
not operate or may not perform
sufficiently due to vehicle condi-
tions, driving conditions, the traf-
fic environment, the weather,
road surface conditions, etc. Do
not wait for the system to oper-
ate. Operate the brake pedal by
yourself as soon as necessary.
. If it is necessary to override RAB
operation, strongly press the ac-
celerator pedal.
. Always check your surroundings
and turn to check what is behind
you before and while backing up.
The RAB system detects station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The RAB system does not detect
the following objects:
— Moving objects
— Low objects
— Narrow objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Complex-shaped objects
— Multiple object in close
— Objects close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft [30 cm])
— Objects that suddenly appear
— Thin objects such as rope, wire, chain, etc.
. The RAB system may not operate
for pedestrians or animals.
. The RAB system may not operate
for the following obstacles:
— Obstacles located high off the
ground
— Obstacles in a position offset from your vehicle
— Obstacles, such as spongy materials or snow, that have
soft outer surfaces and can
easily absorb a sound wave
. The RAB system may not operate
in the following conditions:
— There is rain, snow, ice, dirt,
etc., attached to the sonar
sensors.
— A loud sound is heard in the area around the vehicle.
— The surface of the obstacle is diagonal to the rear of the
vehicle. — The sonar sensors or the area
around them are extremely
hot or cold.
. The RAB system may uninten-
tionally operate in the following
conditions:
— There is overgrown grass in
the area around the vehicle.
— There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll gate equipment, a
narrow tunnel, a parking lot
gate) near the side of the
vehicle.
— There are bumps, protrusions, or manhole covers on the
road surface.
— The vehicle is driving through a draped flag or a curtain.
— The vehicle is driving on a steep hill.
— There is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehi-
cle.
— An ultrasonic wave source, such as another vehicle’s so-
nar, is near the vehicle.
. Once the automatic brake control
operates, it does not operate
again if the vehicle approaches

SSD0622
The sonar system sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the
bumper.
When the sonar system is turned on, the
sonar view will automatically appear in
the touch screen display when the cam-
era is activated.
WARNING
.The sonar system is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper parking.
. The driver is always responsible
for safety during parking and other maneuvers. Always look
around and check that it is safe
to do so before parking.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the sonar system as
contained in this section. The
colors of the sonar indicator in-
dicates different distances to the
object.
. 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;
this may include reduced perfor- mance or a false activation.
. The sonar system is designed as
an aid to the driver in detecting
large stationary objects to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The sonar system is not designed
to prevent contact with small or
moving objects. Always move
slowly. The system will not detect
small objects below the bumper,
and may not detect objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
. The sonar system may not detect
the following objects: fluffy ob-
jects such as snow, cloth, cotton,
glass-wool, etc.; thin objects such
as rope, wire and chain, etc.; or
wedge-shaped objects.
. The front and rear sonar sensors
detect the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle by de-
tecting the sound wave reflected
from the surface of an obstacle.
When there is a sound such as
horn, or an ultrasonic source
(such as sonar of other vehicles)
around the vehicle, the sonar
sensors may not detect objects
properly.
FRONT AND REAR SONAR SYSTEM
(if so equipped)

If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
.Excessive noise (such as audio
system volume or an open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
tone and it may not be heard.
. Keep the sonar sensors (located
on the bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumula-
tions of dirt. Do not clean the
sonar sensors with sharp objects.
If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the sonar function
will be diminished.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The system informs with a visual and
audible signal of front obstacles when the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and
both front and rear obstacles when the
shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
WAF0775X
Sonar Operation Table
The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3
seconds when an obstacle is detected by
only the corner sensor and the distance
does not change. The tone will stop when
the obstacle get away from the vehicle.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(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 increases. When the vehicle is
very close to the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.
SONAR FUNCTION SETTINGS
The camera aiding sonar function set-
tings can be changed using the following
procedures.
1. Push the MENU button on the Display
Commander.
2. Touch the "Settings" key on the touch screen display.
3. Touch the "Parking Sonar" key.

of the TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction
of the tire pressure sensors.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instruc-
tions below.
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road
and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Move the shift lever to
the P (Park) position.
4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic, and to signal professional road assis-
tance personnel that you need assis-
tance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place, away
from traffic and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
.Make sure the parking brake is
securely applied and the auto-
matic transmission is in the P
(Park) position.
. Never change tires when the ve-
hicle is on a slope, ice or slippery
areas. This is hazardous.
. Never change tires if oncoming
traffic is close to your vehicle.
Wait for professional road assis-
tance.
MCE0001A
Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocksat both the front
and back of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the flat tire to prevent the vehicle
from moving when it is jacked up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the
vehicle may move and result in
personal injury.
