Vehicles are shipped with the direction

of the radar sensors adjusted for each

vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so

that the radar sensors detect

RADAR SENSORS —

IF EQUIPPED

Caution!

Rear Radar Sensors

approaching vehicles correctly. If the

direction of the radar sensors has

changed, contact an authorized dealer.

If the rear bumper receives a severe

impact, the system may no longer operate

normally. Stop the system immediately and

contact an authorized dealer.

The following systems use the rear

radar sensors:

Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM)

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

The radar sensors are regulated by the

relevant radio wave laws of the country

in which the vehicle is driven. If the

vehicle is driven abroad, authorization

from the country in which the vehicle is

driven may be required.

The detection ability of the radar

sensors has limitations. In the following

cases, the detection ability may be

decreased, and the system may not

operate normally:

The radar sensors function by detecting

the radio waves reflected off of a vehicle

approaching from the rear, or an

obstruction, sent from the radar sensor.

The radar sensors are installed inside

the rear bumper, one each on the left

and right sides.

Note:

The rear bumper near the radar

sensors has been damaged.

For repairs or replacement of the

radar sensors, bumper repairs, paint

work, or replacement near the radar

sensors, consult an authorized dealer.

Snow, ice or mud has adhered to the

radar sensors on the rear bumper.

Turn off the radar system when

pulling a trailer or while an accessory,

such as a bicycle carrier, is installed to

the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the

radio waves emitted by the radar will

be blocked causing the system to not

operate normally.

Operating in weather conditions such

as rain, snow and fog.

Note: Under the following conditions,

the radar sensors cannot detect objects

or it may be difficult to detect them:

Stationary objects on a road or a

road side such as small, two-wheeled

vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians,

animals, and shopping carts.

Radar Sensor Locations

Always keep the surface of the rear

bumper near the radar sensors clean so

that the radar sensors operate normally.

Also, do not apply items such as

stickers.

Vehicle shapes which do not reflect

radar waves well such as empty trailers

with a low vehicle height and sports

cars.

167

The system is equipped with an assist

device to notify the driver of the

approximate distance from the vehicle

to the surrounding obstruction using a

audible alert.

The sensor area is frozen (operation

will return to normal when the ice is

thawed).

REAR PARK ASSIST

— IF EQUIPPED

Rear Park Assist

The sensor is covered by a hand or

excessive force has been applied to

the bumper.

Warning!

The vehicle is on a steep incline.

Do not rely completely on the parking

sensor system and be sure to confirm the

safety around your vehicle visually when

driving. This system can assist the driver in

operating the vehicle in the forward and

backward directions while parking. The

detection ranges of the sensors are

limited, therefore, driving the vehicle while

relying only on the system may cause an

accident. Always confirm the safety

Under extremely hot or cold

weather conditions.

The vehicle is driven on bumps,

inclines, gravel, or grass covered

roads.

Anything which generates

ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as

another vehicle's horn, the engine

sound of a motorcycle, the air brakes

of a large-sized vehicle, or another

vehicle's sensors.

around your vehicle visually when driving.

Note:

Parking and other potentially dangerous

maneuvers are, however, always the

driver’s responsibility. When performing

these operations, always make sure that

there are no other people (especially

children) or animals on the route you want

to drive into. The parking sensors are an

aid for the driver, but the driver must never

allow their attention to lapse during

Do not install any accessories within

the detection ranges of the sensors. It

may affect the system operation.

The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or

in road conditions causing water

splash.

Depending on the type of

obstruction and the surrounding

conditions, the detection range of a

sensor may narrow, or the sensors

may not be able to detect

obstructions.

A antenna for a radio transmitter is

installed to the vehicle.

potentially dangerous maneuvers, even

those executed at low speeds.

The vehicle is moving towards a tall

or square curbstone.

An obstruction is too close to the

sensor.

The system may not operate

normally under the following

conditions:

The Rear Park Assist System uses four

ultrasonic sensors (two rear sensors

and two rear corner sensors) to detect

obstructions around the vehicle while

parking the vehicle in a garage or

during parallel parking when the gear

selector is in REVERSE.

Mud, ice, or snow adhered to the

sensor area (operation will return to

normal when removed).

168

Obstructions under the bumper

may not be detected. Obstructions

that are lower than the bumper or thin

which may have been initially detected

but are no longer detected as the

vehicle approaches more closely.

Note: The following types of

obstructions may not be detected:

Sensor Detection Range

The sensors detect obstructions within

the following range:

Thin objects such as wire or rope.

Things which absorb sonic waves

easily such as rain or snow.

Lateral Detection Range:

22 inches (55 cm)

Always have the system inspected

by an authorized dealer if any force is

applied to the bumpers, even in a

minor accident. If the sensors have

been repositioned in any way, they

cannot detect obstructions.

Angular shaped objects.

Rear Detection Range: 59 inches

(150 cm)

Very tall objects, and those which

are wide at the top.

System Operation

Small, short objects.

The system is operational when the

ignition is cycled ON and the gear

selector is shifted to REVERSE. When

an audible signal sounds, the system is

enabled for use.

The system may have a malfunction

if the audible signal does not operate.

Contact an authorized dealer.

Caution!

Only have repairs on the bumper in the

area of the sensors carried out by an

authorized dealer. Repairs on the bumper

that are not carried out properly may

compromise the operation of the parking

sensors.

The beeper which indicates a

system malfunction may not be heard

if the ambient temperature is extremely

cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to

the sensor area. Remove any foreign

material from the sensor area.

Only have the bumpers repainted or any

retouches to the paint work in the area of

the sensors carried out by an authorized

dealer. Incorrect paint application could

affect the operation of the parking sensors.
