PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS
The system may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb reflection.
Always drive with due care and
attention. Failure to take care may result
in a crash.
To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
The system may not detect small or
moving objects, particularly those
close to the ground.
Note: Some add-on accessories such as
large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
can cause reduced performance or false
alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked
sensors may affect system accuracy. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
Note: The sensing system cannot be turned
off when a MyKey is present. See Principle
of Operation (page 54).
Note: Some add-on accessories such as
large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
can cause reduced performance or false

limitations by reading this section.
The system may provide display or sound
warnings when the detected obstacle is
12 in (30 cm) or less from the bumper.

REAR PARKING AID

The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in reverse (R). As your
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than 12 in
(30 cm) away, the warning sounds
continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object farther than
12 in (30 cm) from the corners of the
bumper, the tone sounds for only three
seconds. Once the system detects an
object approaching, the warning sounds
again.
