FRONT PARKING AID

WARNINGS
The parking aid system can only
assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. Take care when using the system
to avoid personal injury.
To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse and
when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or moving
objects. The system is designed to
provide a warning to assist you in detecting
large stationary objects to avoid damaging
your vehicle. The system may not detect
smaller objects, particularly those close to
the ground.
Traffic control systems, inclement
weather, air brakes and external
motors and fans may affect correct
operation of the sensing system; this may
include reduced performance or a false
alerts.
Front Sensing System
The front sensors are active when the
transmission is in any position other than
park (P).
You can also press the parking aid button
(if equipped) or use the settings menu in
the information menus to switch the front
parking aid system on without selecting
reverse (R).

bumper or fascia free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
are covered, the system s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with
sharp objects.

the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned

causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false beeps.
When the parking aid system produces an
audible warning, the audio system may
reduce the set volume to a predetermined
level.
