-
The vehicle power switch is in the “ON”
gear, or is switched from the “ON” gear to
the “ACC” or “OFF” gear within 3 minutes.

the driver opens the door, the yellow warning
lamp on the exterior rearview mirror on
the danger side will come on. If the driver
continues to open the door, the warning lamp
will flash and an audible alarm will be
issued.
CAUTION
This function cannot detect objects behind
other vehicles or obstacles.
