Your vehicle may be equipped with Parking Sensors. The four Parking Sensors are located in the rear
bumper and their function is to detect the presence of any obstacles near the rear part of the
vehicle; they consequently inform the driver, through an intermittent acoustic signal.
The sensors are automatically activated when REVERSE gear is engaged and a visual display will
appear in the instrument cluster display. As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer, the
acoustic signal becomes more frequent.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the Parking Sensor system. Always
check carefully 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 continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
•
The Parking Sensor system is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at
all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close
proximity
•
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 recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using the Parking Sensor system.
