WARNING
僅 Always pay extreme caution while driving. The driver is responsible for controlling the
brake for safe driving.
僅 Always look around your vehicle to make sure there are no pedestrians or objects
before moving the vehicle.
僅 The performance of Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may vary under certain condi-
tions. If vehicle speed is above 4 km/h (2 mph), Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist will
provide collision avoidance assistance only when pedestrians are detected. Always look
around and pay attention when driving your vehicle.
僅 Some objects may not be detected by the rear ultrasonic sensors due to the objects dis-
tance, size, or material, all of which can limit the effectiveness of the sensor.
僅 Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly or may operate unneces-
sarily depending on the road conditions and the surroundings.
僅 Do not solely rely on Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist. Doing so may lead to vehicle
damage or injuries.
僅 Always keep the wide angle cameras and ultrasonic sensors clean.
僅 Do not use any cleanser containing acid or alkaline detergents when cleaning the cam-
era lens. Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
僅 Do not spray the wide angle cameras or the rear ultrasonic sensors or their surrounding
area directly with a high pressure washer. It may cause the wide angle cameras or the
ultrasonic sensors to malfunction.
僅 Do not apply objects, such as a bumper sticker or a bumper guard, near the wide angle
cameras or ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to the bumper. Doing so may adversely
affect the performance of Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist.
