If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the
information display and does not allow the driver to switch the faulted
system on.

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with MyKey®, it is possible to prevent
turning the sensing system off. Refer to the MyKey® chapter.

Using the Rear Sensing System

The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in R. As the
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning
increases. When the obstacle is fewer than 12 inches (30 centimeters)
away, the warning sounds continuously. If a stationary or receding object
is detected farther than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of the
vehicle, the tone sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects
an object approaching, the warning sounds again.

A. Coverage area of up to 6 feet
(2 meters) from the rear bumper
(with a decreased coverage area at
the outer corners of the bumper).

The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in R:
• and moving toward a stationary object at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h)

or less.

• but not moving, and a moving object is approaching the rear of the

vehicle at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
