DRIVER ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
This vehicle may have features that
work together to help avoid crashes or
reduce crash damage while driving,
backing, and parking. Read this entire
section before using these systems.
Warning
Do not rely on the Driver Assistance
Systems. These systems do not
replace the need for paying
attention and driving safely. You
may not hear or feel alerts or
warnings provided by these systems.
Failure to use proper care when
driving may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. See Defensive
Driving 0 181.
Under many conditions, these
systems will not:
Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals.
Warning (Continued)
Detect vehicles or objects
outside the area monitored by
the system.
Work at all driving speeds.
Warn you or provide you with
enough time to avoid a crash.
Work under poor visibility or
bad weather conditions.
Work if the detection sensor
is not cleaned or is covered by
ice, snow, mud, or dirt.
Work if the detection sensor
is covered up, such as with a
sticker, magnet, or metal
plate.
Work if the area surrounding
the detection sensor is
damaged or not properly
repaired.
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes and/or steer the
vehicle to avoid crashes.
DRIVING AND OPERATING
