1When Stopped  
In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake  
may freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are  
expected, do not apply the parking brake but, if  
parking on a slope, either turn the front wheels so  
they will contact the curb if the vehicle rolls down the  
slope or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from  
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the  
vehicle may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.

Parking Sensor System*  
1Parking Sensor System*  
The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the  
beeper, driver information interface and audio/information screen let you know the  
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.  
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is  
no obstacle near your vehicle before parking.  
The system may not work properly when:

There is splashing water near the sensors due to  
heavy rains, etc.  
Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.  
uIf you put any accessories (such as a bicycle rack)  
on or around the rear sensors, the system may  
activate if it detects these accessories as an  
obstacle. In this case, turn off the rear sensor.

uuParking Your VehicleuCross Traffic Monitor*  
Cross Traffic Monitor*  
1Cross Traffic Monitor*  
Monitors the rear corner areas using the radar sensors when reversing, and alerts  
you if a vehicle approaching from a rear corner is detected.

CAUTION  
The system is convenient when you are backing out of a parking space.  
Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all  
approaching vehicles and may not detect  
an approaching vehicle at all.  
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to  
back up the vehicle before doing so may  
result in a collision.  
Do not solely rely on the system when  
reversing; always also use your mirrors, and  
look behind and to the sides of your vehicle  
before reversing.  
The parking sensor system's alerting buzzer overrides  
the Cross Traffic Monitor buzzer when the sensors  
are detecting obstacles at the closest range.

How the System Works  
■
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay  
alerting an approaching vehicle, or may alert without  
an approaching vehicle under the following  
conditions:  
The system activates when:  
• The power mode is in ON.  
• The Cross Traffic Monitor is turned on.  
2 Cross Traffic Monitor On and Off P. 678  
•
An obstacle, such as another vehicle and a wall,  
near your vehicle's rear bumper, is blocking the  
radar sensor's scope.  
• The transmission is in (R  
• Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or  
.
•
•
Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph  
(5 km/h) or higher.  
lower.  
A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than  
between about 6 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (25  
km/h).  
Radar sensors:  
•
•
The system picks up external interference such as  
other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong  
radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.  
Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with  
snow, ice, mud or dirt.  
Underneath the rear bumper  
corners  
When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor  
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.  
•
•
•
•
When there is bad weather.  
Your vehicle is on an incline.  
The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your  
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly  
behind your vehicle.  
Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.  
Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a  
vehicle, and so on.  
The rear bumper or the sensors have been improperly  
repaired or the rear bumper has been deformed.  
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.  
The system does not provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from your  
vehicle, and it may alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.  
For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper  
corner area clean.  
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels  
or stickers of any kind.
