REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rear parking assist system 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 system
and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing
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 rear parking assist
system.
WARNING
The rear parking assist system is a
supplementary function only. The
operation of the rear parking assist
system can be affected by several
factors (including environmental
conditions). It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the area
behind the vehicle before and while
backing up.

assist system

parking assist system is in operation
is approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
