NOTE: The sensor must be free from mud, dirt snow or
ice in order for the system to operate correctly. Be careful
not to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors must be
washed using clean water, with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the
sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than 4 in (10 cm)
away. Also, do not apply stickers to the sensors.
CAUTION!
•
The Parking Sensor system is only a parking aid
and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing small obstacles. Parking curbs might be tem-
porarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close proximity

CAUTION! (Continued)
•
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the
Parking Sensor system in order to be able to stop in
time when an obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using the Parking Sensor system.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using the Parking Sensor system. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. You are responsible
for the safety of your surroundings and must con-
tinue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
