The parking aid system gives an audible
warning and reduces the radio volume
when it detects a large object within a
limited range of your vehicle's bumpers.
Note: When the parking aid system no
longer detects a large object the radio
volume will return to the previous level.
Rear Sensing System
The rear parking aid sensors turn on
automatically when you move the
transmission selector lever to R (reverse)
and your vehicle is moving at a speed of
less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Moving your
vehicle closer to a large object will increase
the audible warning repeat rate. When the
object is less than 12 inches (30
centimeters) from the center of your
vehicle's rear bumper the audible warning
will sound continuously. If the object is
more than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from
the side of your vehicle's rear bumper the
audible warning will sound for three
seconds. If the object is less than 12 inches
(30 centimeters) from the side of your
vehicle's rear bumper the audible warning
will sound continuously.
A The rear parking aid sensor
coverage area is up to 72 inches
(183 centimeters) from the
center of your vehicle's rear
bumper. There is a decreased
coverage area at the outer
corners.
