This system operates when you are backing
the vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to
detect an obstacle and the information screen
in the multi information display and the
buzzer to inform you of the approximate dis-
tance to the obstacle.

The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the
illustration. Moreover, the sensors are unable
to detect low or thin objects or objects near
the rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check the
surroundings as you operate the vehicle in a
safe manner.
There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor-
ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors
(B) in the centre of the rear bumper.
Depending on whether the vehicle is
equipped with a towbar, you can change the

CAUTION
 The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly detect some objects. Therefore, do
not place excessive confidence in the revers-
ing sensor system, and operate the vehicle as
carefully as you would a vehicle without this
system.

Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing
sensor system alone.
