PARKING SENSOR (if so equipped)
REAR CENTER SONAR (if so
equipped)

The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.

The colors of the sonar indicators and the dis-
tance guide lines in the rear view indicate differ-
ent distances to the object.

WARNING

The sonar (parking sensor) is a conve-

nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper parking.

The system is deactivated at speeds

above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.

The driver is always responsible for

safety

during

parking

and

other

maneuvers.

Always look around and check that it is

safe to move before parking.

Read and understand the limitations of

the sonar (parking sensor) as contained
in this section.

Inclement

weather

or

ultrasonic

sources such as an automatic car wash,
a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation.

This function is designed as an aid to

the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.

The system is not designed to prevent

contact with small or moving objects.

The system will not detect small objects

below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.

The system may not detect the follow-

ing objects:

– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,

cotton, glass or wool.

– Thin objects such as rope, wire or

chain.

– Wedge-shaped objects.

If your vehicle sustains damage to the

bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
