Features of your vehicle
The rear parking assist 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 supplemental 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 sen-
sors are limited. Whenever backing-up,
pay as much attention to what is behind
you as you would in a vehicle without a
rear parking assist system. Operation of the rear parking
assist system
Operating condition
• This system will activate when backing
up with the ignition switch ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed over
5 km/h (3 mph), the system may not be
activated correctly.
• This system will activate when the indi-
cator on the rear parking assist OFF
button is not illuminated. If you desire
to deactivate the rear parking assist
system, press the rear parking assist
OFF button. (The indicator on the but-
ton will illuminate.) To turn the system
on, press the button again. (The indi-
cator on the button will go off.)
REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The rear parking assist system is a
supplementary function only. The
operation of the rear parking assist
system can be affected by several
factors (including environmental
conditions). It is the responsibility
of the driver to always check the
area behind the vehicle before and
while backing up.
