■ OBJECT DETECTION

ULTRASONIC REAR
PARKING ASSIST
This feature is designed to make
rear and parallel parking easier by
assisting you in determining how
close the rear of your vehicle is to
an object.
CAUTION
Use care when parking your
vehicle. Always check for
people, other vehicles and
obstructions. Also check for
blind spots.
The system is only able to
detect objects according to the
parameters specified in this
section.
The system will not detect
objects that are below the
bumper or under the vehicle, or
some objects that are very close
to the vehicle.
The maximum distance at
which the system can detect
objects may be reduced when
the weather is warm or the
humidity is high.
Section 1
CAUTION
(Continued)
The system is not designed to
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists or pets.
Failure to follow these
precautions can result in injuries
or even death.
The system's sensors, located on
the rear bumper, can detect
objects that are at least 25.4 cm
(10 inches) tall, below trunk level
and within a distance of about
2.5 m (8 feet) from the vehicle.
The system uses a combination of
the display lights and chimes to
warn you as the rear of the vehicle
approaches an object.
