■Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sen-
sors are operating.
The buzzer beeps faster as
the vehicle approaches a
static object. When the vehi-
cle comes within the approxi-
mately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the
static object, the buzzer will
sound continuously.
When 2 or more sensors
simultaneously detect a static
object, the buzzer sounds for
the nearest object.
After a buzzer begins sound-
ing, if the distance between
the vehicle and the detected a
static object does not become
shorter, the buzzer will be
muted automatically. (auto-
matic buzzer mute function)
■Adjusting the buzzer vol-
ume
The buzzer volume of the intui-
tive parking assist, RCTA (if
equipped), and RCD (if
equipped) can be adjusted all
together on of the multi-infor-
mation display. ( P.618)
■Muting a buzzer temporarily
●When an object is detected, the
temporary mute switch is dis-
played on the Multimedia Display.
Select the switch to mute a buzzer
of the intuitive parking assist,
RCTA (if equipped), and RCD (if
equipped) all together.
●Mute will be automatically can-
celed in the following situations.
• When the shift position is
changed.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.
• When there is a malfunction in a sensor or the system is temporar-
ily unavailable.
• When the operating function is disabled manually.
• When the power switch is turned
off.
The object warning function
informs the driver of the exis-
tence of objects along the side
of the vehicle, using a display
and buzzer, if the objects are
within the estimated path of the
vehicle.

Object
Calculated vehicle route
When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras can
detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can
no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the loca-
tion of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is
determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the object
warning function will operate.
Object detected by side sensors or side cameras
1 The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle
are not detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are outsi de of the detection area of the
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a
buzzer sounds.
■The intuitive parking assist
object warning function is oper-
ational when
●The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft.
(7 m) after the hybrid system is
started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the shift position has been
changed from R to D, the vehicle has moved approximately 23.0 ft.

● switch has been pressed and
the Multimedia Display is dis-
played.

in checking areas that are
not easily visible when
backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The RCTA function is only a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is
approaching from the right or left
at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not
function correctly under certain
conditions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.
Over reliance on this function may
lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

vehicles approaching from the
right or left at the rear of the
vehicle and alerts the driver of
the presence of such vehicles
by flashing the outside rear view mirror indicators and sounding a
buzzer.

■The RCTA function is opera-
tional when
The RCTA function operates when
all of the followin g conditions are
met:
●The power switch is in ON.
●The RCTA function is on.
●The shift position is in R.
●The vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).
●The approaching vehicle speed is
between approximately 5 mph (8

intuitive parking assist, and RCD (if
equipped) can be adjusted all
together through a customize set-

■Muting a buzzer temporarily
When an object is detected, the temporary mute switch is displayed
on the Multimedia Display.
Select the switch to
mute the buzzer
of the intuitive parking assist, RCTA,
and RCD (if equipped) all together.
Mute will be canceled automatically
in the following situations:
●When the shift position is
changed.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds
a certain speed.
●When there is a malfunction in a
sensor or the system is temporar-
ily unavailable.
●When the operating function is
disabled manually.
●When the power switch is turned
off.
■Conditions under which the
system will not detect a vehicle
The RCTA function is not designed
to detect the following types of vehi-
cles and/or objects:
●Vehicles approaching from
directly behind
●Vehicles backing up in a parking
space next to your vehicle
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot
detect due to obstructions
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked
vehicles and similar stationary
objects

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The recognition and control capa-
bilities for this system are limited.
The driver should always drive
safely by always being responsi-
ble without over relying on the
system and have a understanding
of the surrounding situations.
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Observe the following, otherwise
there is the danger that could lead
to an accident.
●Always clean the camera with-
out damaging it.
●Do not install market electronic
parts (such as Illuminated
license plate, fog lamps, etc.) in
the camera vicinity.
