Note:
If the parking aid sensors are
misaligned due to vehicle bumper damage
it will cause reduced performance or false
activation.
The rear parking aid sensors turn on
automatically when you move the
transmission selector lever to R (reverse)
and your vehicle is moving at a speed of
less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Moving your
vehicle closer to a large object will increase
the audible warning repeat rate. When the
object is less than 12 inches (30
centimeters) from the center of your
vehicle’s rear bumper the audible warning
will sound continuously.
Sensor coverage area is up to 71
in (180 cm) from the rear
bumper.
A
Note:
There is a decreased coverage area
at the outer corners.
The system detects large objects when
you move the transmission selector lever
to R (reverse):
•
Your vehicle is moving backward at low
speed.
•
Your vehicle is stationary but an object
is approaching the rear of your vehicle
at a low speed.
•
Your vehicle is moving backward at low
speed and an object is approaching the
rear of your vehicle at a low speed.
Note:
If your vehicle remains stationary for
two seconds the audible tone will mute. If
your vehicle moves backward, you will hear
the tone again.
Move the transmission selector lever from
R (reverse) or press the parking aid button
to switch the system off. If a fault is
present in the system, a warning message
appears in the information display and
does not allow you to switch the system
on. See
Information Messages
(page

FRONT PARKING AID
WARNINGS
The parking aid system can only
assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. Take care when using the system
to avoid personal injury.
To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse and
when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or moving
objects. The system is designed to
provide a warning to assist you in detecting
large stationary objects to avoid damaging
your vehicle. The system may not detect
smaller objects, particularly those close to
the ground.
