• Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed,
or if the vehicle bumper height or
sensor installation has been modi-
fied.
Detecting range may decrease when:
• Outside air temperature is extreme-
ly hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than
1 m (40 inches) and narrower than
14 cm (6 inches) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
• Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
• Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system precautions
• The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate
consistently in some
stances depending on the speed of
the vehicle and the shapes of the
objects detected.
• The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may malfunction
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
• The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is blocked with
snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
• Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
circum-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
WARNING
Extreme caution should always
be taken to avoid accidents or
vehicle injuries. Do not solely
rely on the Parking Distance
Warning (Reverse)
Always drive safely and cau-
tiously, especially when back-
