PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations of
the system as contained in this section.
Sensing is only an aid for some (generally
large and fixed) objects when moving on a
flat surface at parking speeds. Certain objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves,
surrounding vehicle's parking aid systems,
traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps,
inclement weather, air brakes, and external
motors and fans may also affect the function
of the sensing system; this may include
reduced performance or a false activation.
To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
The system is designed to provide a
warning to assist the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to avoid damaging your
vehicle. The system may not detect smaller
objects, particularly those close to the
ground.
WARNINGS
Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
and any device that may block the
normal detection zone of the system, may
create false beeps.
Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are
covered, the system’s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
Note:
The sensing system cannot be turned
off when a MyKey is present. See
Principle
of Operation
(page 50).
Note:
If you attach certain add-on devices
such as a trailer or bike rack, the rear sensing
system may detect that add-on device and
therefore provide warnings. It is suggested that
you disable the rear sensing system when you
attach an add-on device to your vehicle to
prevent these warnings.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system turns on automatically
whenever you switch the ignition on.
The system can be switched off through the
information display menu or from the pop-up
message that appears once you shift the
transmission into reverse (R). See
General
Information
(page 89).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information display.
See
Information Messages
(page 95).
REAR PARKING AID
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle
moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the
audible warning increases. When the
obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away, the
warning sounds continuously. If the system
detects a stationary or receding object farther
than 12 in (30 cm) from the corners of the
bumper, the tone sounds for only three
seconds. Once the system detects an object
approaching, the warning sounds again.
