Rear Parking Assistance (option)

This system is used to assist you when backing into parking spaces, etc by providing an audible tone as
you back up.
The system is automatically activated when you select reverse gear.
It utilizes ultrasound sensors located in the rear bumper to measure the distance to a vehicle or other
object, or a person who may be behind the vehicle.
When the system is active:
1. The audio system's volume will be reduced.
2. An intermittent signal will be audible from the audio system's speakers to indicate that as you back
up, you are approaching a person, object, parked vehicle, etc. The signals begin when the vehicle is at a
distance of approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) from an object/person, etc.
3. At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant.
Switching off the system
Towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a tailgate-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the reverse warning
system.
