When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The RVC system may not work
properly or display a clear image if:
It is dark.
The sun or the beam of
headlamps are shining directly
into the camera lens.
Ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the camera lens.
Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft
cloth.
The back of the vehicle is in an
accident. The position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can
be affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer.

Parking Assist

If equipped, Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) assists the driver with parking
and avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). RPA operates at
speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensors on the rear bumper
detect objects up to 2.5 m (8 ft)
behind the vehicle, and at least
20 cm (8 in) off the ground. The
distance objects can be detected
may be less during warmer or humid
weather.
Warning
The parking assist system does
not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects

Warning (Continued)
below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle.
It is not available at speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To
prevent injury, death, or vehicle
damage, even with parking assist,
always check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.
How the System Works
RPA comes on automatically when
the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse). A single beep sounds
to indicate the system is working.
RPA operates only at speeds less
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
An obstacle is indicated by audible
beeps. The time between the beeps
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm (12 in),
the beeping is a continuous tone for
five seconds.
