alertness . Ultimate responsib ility always
remains with the driver during park ing

- You should always adjust the volume and
frequency of the warning tones so that
you can easily hear the acoustic distance
warning even if t he radio is playing, t he
air-conditioner blower is on High or there
is a high level of outside noise.
- Check the settings whenever anyone
else has driven the vehicle before you.
- Remember that low obstacles for wh ich

"dive" below the system's sensing zone if
the veh icle is being backed up closer . In
th is case, the warn ing sound shutt ing off
