The rear parking assist system
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 47 in. (120 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and it is not intended to nor does it
replace the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing
range and objects detectable by the
back sensors (

➀

) are limited.

Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a rear park-
ing assist system.

Operation of the rear parking
assist system

Operating condition

• This system will activate when the

indicator on the rear parking assist
OFF button is not illuminated. If
you desire to deactivate the rear
parking assist system, press the
rear parking assist OFF button
again. (The indicator on the button
will illuminate.) To turn the system
on, press the button again. (The
indicator on the button will go off.)
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.

REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING -

Rear parking
assist system

Never rely solely on the rear
parking assist system. Always
perform a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction. Stop
immediately if you are aware of
a child anywhere near your vehi-
cle. Some objects may not be
detected by the sensors, due to
the object's size or material.

OYG046400N

4 101

Features of your vehicle

• This system will activate when

backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.

• The sensing distance while the

back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 47 in. (120
cm) at the rear bumper center
area, 23.5 in. (60 cm) at the rear
bumper both side area.

• When more than two objects are

sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Types of warning sound

• When an object is 47 in. to 24 in.

(120 cm to 61 cm) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-
tently.

• When an object is 24 in. to 12 in.

(60 cm to 31 cm) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-
quently.

• When an object is within 16 in. (40

cm) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.

Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system

The rear parking assist system
may not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It

will operate normally once the
moisture clears.

2. The sensor is covered with foreign

matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces

(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).

4. Objects generating excessive

noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.

5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile

phones are within range of the
sensor.

7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing

Features of your vehicle

102

The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is covered with foreign

matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)

2. Outside air temperature is

extremely hot or cold.

The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as

ropes, chains or small poles.

2. Objects which tend to absorb the

sensor frequency such as clothes,
sound absorbent material or snow.

3. Undetectable objects smaller than

40 in. (1 m) in height and narrower
than 6 in. (14 cm) in diameter.

Rear parking assist system
precautions

• The rear parking assist system

may not sound consistently
depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.

• The rear parking assist system may

malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.

• The sensor may not recognize

objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.

• When the sensor is frozen or cov-

ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until the
material is removed using a soft
cloth.

• To prevent damage, do not push,

scratch or strike the sensor.

✽

NOTICE

This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors. It cannot detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.

eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.

Backing &
using camera

Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing. You must
always use methods of viewing
the area behind you including
looking over both shoulders as
well as continuously checking all
three rear view mirrors. Due to
the difficulty of ensuring that the
area behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.
