Displayed images may be farther or
closer than they appear. The area
displayed is limited and objects that
are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper do not
display.
A warning triangle may display on
the RVC screen to show where the
Rear Parking Assist (RPA) has
detected an object. This triangle
changes from amber to red and
increases in size the closer the
object.
On vehicles with the Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA), a triangle with
an arrow may also display on the
RVC screen to warn of traffic
coming from either direction. When
backing, this system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from
the left or right side, behind the
vehicle. When an object is detected,
either three beeps sound or three
Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on
the left or right side, depending on
the direction of the detected vehicle.
Front and Rear Park Assist (FRPA)
operates at speeds of less than
8 km/h (5 mph) and detects nearby
objects within a zone 25 cm (10 in)
high off the ground and below
bumper level. FRPA detects objects
up to 2.5 m (8 ft) behind the vehicle,
and detects objects up to 1.2 m (4 ft)
in front of the vehicle. These
detection distances may be shorter
during warmer or humid weather.
Blocked sensors will not detect
objects and can also cause false
detections. Keep the sensors clean
of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush;
and clean sensors after a car wash
in freezing temperatures.
