Features of your vehicle
The parking distance warning-reverse
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver. The sens-
ing 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
parking distance warning-reverse.

tance warning-reverse
