activated correctly.
• The sensing distance while the rear
parking assist system is in operation is

• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.
Types of warning sound
• When an object is 120 cm to 81 cm (47
in. to 32 in.) from the rear bumper :

2. Sensor is covered with foreign matter,
such as snow or water, or the sensor

Following objects may not be recog-
nized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,
chains or small poles.
