Features of your vehicle
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system may malfunction if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified or
damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accesso
ries may also interfere with the
sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 40 cm from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor
rect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov
ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the material is removed using a
soft cloth.
To prevent damage, do not push,
scratch or strike the sensor.
NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be
detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.

WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected
by the sensors, due to the object's

which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.
