REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM
C400A03P-EAT
(If installed)
The rear parking assist system assists
the driver whilst reversing by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 47 in. (120 cm) 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
rear parking assist sensors are limited.
Whenever reversing, pay as much at-
tention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without the assist
system.
OJM019055
WARNING:
The rear parking assist system is a
supplementary function only. The
operation of the system can be af-
fected by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the area behind the vehicle
before reversing.
Sensor
Operation of the system
Operating condition
o This system will activate when re-
versing with the ignition key ON.
If the vehicle is in motion at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.
o The sensing distance while the sys-
tem is in operation is approximately
47 in. (120 cm).
o When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.
Non-operational conditions of
the system
The system may not operate prop-
erly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It
will operate normally when the mois-
ture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign
matter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked. (It will oper-
ate normally when the material is
removed or the sensor is no longer
blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (un-
paved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-
ent).
Types of warning sound
o When an object is 47 in. to 32 in. (120
cm to 81 cm) from the rear bumper :
Buzzer beeps intermittently
o When an object is 31 in. to 16 in. (80
cm to 41 cm) from the rear bumper :
Buzzer beeps more frequently
o When an object is within 15 in. (40
cm) of the rear bumper : Buzzer
sounds continuously.

CAUTION:
1. The rear parking assist warning
may not sound sequentially de-
pending on the speed and shapes
of the objects detected.
2. The system may malfunction if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified or
damaged. Any non-factory in-
stalled equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
3. The sensor may not recognize ob-
jects less than 15 in. (40 cm) from
the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a
soft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
! !
CAUTION:
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim ob-
jects, such as poles or objects lo-
cated between sensors may not be
detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when reversing.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or its occupants due to a
rear parking assist system malfunc-
tion. Always drive safely and cau-
tiously.
4. Objects generating excessive noise
(vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en-
gines, or truck air brakes) are within
range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are within range of the sen-
sor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing
The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water. (The
sensing range will return to normal
when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely
hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,
chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the
sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than
40 in. (1 m) and narrower than 6 in.
(14 cm) in diameter.
