If wheels or tires other than the recom-

mended ones are used, the vehicle dy-

namic control system may not operate

properly and the vehicle dynamic con-

trol off indicator light may come on.

The vehicle dynamic control system is

not a substitute for winter tires or tire

chains on a snow covered road.

WARNING

Always turn and look back before back-

ing. The RSS is not a substitute for

proper backing procedures.

Read and understand the limitations of

the rear sonar system as contained in

this section. Inclement weather may af-

fect the function of the RSS; this may

include reduced performance or a false

activation.

This system is not designed to prevent

contact with small or moving objects.

The system is designed as an aid to the

driver in detecting large stationary ob-

jects to help avoid damaging the ve-

hicle. The system will not detect small

objects below the bumper, and may not

detect objects close to the bumper or

on the ground.

If your vehicle sustains damage to the

rear bumper fascia, leaving it mis-

aligned or bent, the sensing zone may

be altered causing inaccurate measure-

ment of obstacles or false alarms.

The Rear Sonar System (RSS) sounds a tone to

warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper

when the shift selector is in R (Reverse). The

system may not detect objects at speeds above 3

mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular

or moving objects.
The RSS detects obstacles up to 6 feet (1.8 m)

from the rear bumper with a decreased coverage

area at the outer corners of the bumper, (refer to

the illustration for approximate zone coverage

areas). As you move closer to the obstacle, the

rate of the tone increases. When the obstacle is

less than 10 inches (25.0 cm) away, the tone will

sound continuously. If the RSS detects a station-

ary or receding object further than 10 inches

(25.0 cm) from the side of the vehicle, the tone
