■ OBJECT DETECTION

ULTRASONIC REAR
PARKING ASSIST
This feature is designed to make
rear and parallel parking easier by
assisting you in determining how
close the rear of your vehicle is to
an object.
When the vehicle speed is less than
8 km/h and you shift into reverse
gear, the system will turn on auto-
matically.

CAUTION
Use care when parking your
vehicle. Always check for
people, other vehicles and
obstructions. Also check for
blind spots.
The system is only able to
detect objects according to the
parameters specified in this
section.
The system will not detect
objects that are below the
bumper or under the vehicle, or
some objects that are very close
to the vehicle.
The maximum distance at
which the system can detect
objects may be reduced when
the weather is warm or the
humidity is high.
CAUTION
(Continued)
The system is not designed to
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists or pets.
Failure to follow these
precautions can result in injuries
or even death.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
light display above the rear
window, the system uses a combi-
nation of display lights and chimes
to warn you as the rear of the vehi-
cle approaches an object.
See "Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(With Light Display)" later in this
section.
If your vehicle is not equipped with
a light display above the rear
window, the system uses a series
of beeps to indicate how close the
vehicle is to an object.
See "Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(Without Light Display)".
