REAR PARK ASSIST
The Rear Park Assist sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near
the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the vehicle is
moving at speeds less than 5 km/h (3 mph). The system is not effective
at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the
limitations of the Rear Park Assist system as contained in this
section. The Rear Park Assist is only an aid for some (generally large
and fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat surface at "parking
speeds". Inclement weather may also affect the function of the system;
this may include reduced performance or a false activation.
