PARKING DISTANCE WARNING-REVERSE (IF EQUIPPED)
The parking distance warning-reverse
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing
range and objects detectable by the
back sensors (➀) are limited. Whenever
backing-up, pay as much attention to
what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a parking distance
warning-reverse.
WARNING
The parking distance warning-re‐
verse is a supplementary function
only. The operation of the parking
distance warning-reverse can be af‐
fected by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the area behind the vehicle be‐
fore and while backing up.
Operation of the parking

Operating condition
• This system will activate when back‐
