Driving your vehicle
22 4
The back warning 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 sup-
plemental system and it is not intended
to nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the back sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a back warning
system.
Operation of the back warning
system

If the vehicle is moved at speed over
5 km/h (3 mph), the system may not
activated correctly.

Warning System is in operation is
approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.

BACK WARNING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The Back Warning System is a sup-
plementary function only. The oper-
ation of the Back Warning System
can be affected by several factors
(including environmental condi-
tions). It is the responsibility of the
driver to always check the area
behind the vehicle before backing
up.
