Parking Sensor System
The corner and centre 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.

The Sensor Location and Range
1Parking Sensor System
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:
•
The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or dirt.
• The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.
• There is something nearby that emits ultrasonic
waves or high frequency sounds.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
The system may not detect these obstacles:
• Thin or low objects.
• Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton,
or sponge.
• Objects directly under the bumper.
The system may falsely detect obstacles in the
following situations:
• The vehicle is on uneven surface, such as grass,
bumps, or a hill.
• When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or
other objects that emit ultrasonic waves.
• 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 towing hitch
*
or 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.
