2. CAUTIONS
· Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area. Always check
nobody, especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle when parking or
reversing.
· If you can not properly check the vehicle behind, get out of the vehicle and then
visually check it.
1. The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking.
2. Always keep the safety precautions.
3. Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or using a high-pressure water gun while
washing, since it may damage the sensors.
4. If the system is in normal operating condition, a short beep sounds when the shift lever is
moved into "R" position with the ignition key "ON".
5. If the system is defective, the warning buzzer sounds for 3 seconds when moving the gear
shift lever to "R" position with the ignition ON. Be careful not to confuse this and the parking
aid alarm (in 50 cm).

The parking aid system will not work or improperly work under following cases:
1) Certain obstacles that sensors can not detect
- Thin and narrow objects, such as wires, ropes, chains
- Cotton, sponge, clothes, snow; that absorb ultrasonic waves
- Obstacles lower than the bumper (ex. drain ditch or mud puddle)
2) Not defective but improperly working
- When the sensing portion is frozen (operates normally after thawed)
- When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud (operates normally
after cleaned)
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals (metal sound or air braking noises from heavy
commercial vehicles)
- When a high-power radio is turned on
3) Narrowed sensing area
- When the sensing portion is partially covered by snow or mud (operates normally after cleaned)
Surrounding temperature of sensor is too high (approx. over 80°C) or too low
-
(approx. below -30°C)
4) Not defective but may cause malfunction
- When driving on the rough roads, gravel road, hill and grass
- When the bumper height is changed due to heavy load
- When the sensing portion is frozen
- When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals (metal sound or air braking noises from heavy
commercial vehicles)
- When a high-power radio is turned on
- When some accessories are attached in detecting ranges
