PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

■ Front

The parking assist system assists the

driver during movement of the vehicle by

chiming or displaying the area an obsta-

cle is detected on the instrument cluster

if any object is sensed within the distance

of 100 cm (39.4 in.) in front and 120 cm

(47 in.) behind the vehicle.

Sensors

■ Rear (3 Door)

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.

OJD042085

The sensing range and objects

detectable by the sensors are limited.

OJD042081

Whenever moving pay as much attention

to what is in front and behind of you as

you would in a vehicle without a parking

assist system.

Operating condition

■ Rear (5 Door)

• This system activates when the park-

ing assist system button is pressed

with the ignition switch ON.

WARNING

Type A

The parking assist system should

only be considered as a supple-

mentary function. The driver must

check the front and rear view. The

operational function of the parking

assist system can be affected by

many factors and conditions of the

surroundings, so the responsibility

rests always with the driver.

The indicator of the parking assist sys-

tem button turns on automatically and

activates the parking assist system

when you shift the gear to the

R(Reverse) position or press the SPAS

button. It will turn off automatically

when you drive above 40 km/h(24.8

mph) except in the case when the

parking assist system button is

pressed with the ignition switch ON.

CAUTION

There is a possibility of parking

assist system malfunction when:

Non-operational conditions of

parking assist system

• This system can only sense

objects within the range and loca-

tion of the sensors;

1. Driving on uneven road surfaces such

as unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, or

gradient.

Parking assist system may not oper-

ate normally when:

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will

operate normally when moisture

melts.)

It can not detect objects in other

areas where sensors are not

installed. Also, small or slim

objects, such as poles or objects

located between sensors may not

be detected by the sensors.

2. Objects generating excessive noise

such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle

engines, or truck air brakes can inter-

fere with the sensor.

2. Sensor is covered with foreign matter,

such as snow or water, or the sensor

cover is blocked. (It will operate nor-

mally when the material is removed or

the sensor is no longer blocked.)

3. Heavy rain or water spray.

4. Wireless transmitters or mobile

phones present near the sensor.

5. Sensor is covered with snow.

Always visually check behind the

vehicle when backing up.

3. Sensor is stained with foreign matter

such as snow or water. (Sensing range

will return to normal when removed.)

• Be sure to inform any drivers of

the vehicle that may be unfamiliar

with the system regarding the

systems capabilities and limita-

tions.

Detecting range may decrease when:

1. Outside air temperature is extremely

hot or cold.

4.The parking assist button is off.

2. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m

and narrower than 14 cm in diameter.

The following objects may not be rec-

ognized by the sensor:

1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,

chains or small poles.

2. Objects, which tend to absorb sensor

frequency such as clothes, spongy

material or snow.

WARNING

Pay close attention when the vehi-

cle is driven close to objects on the

road, particularly pedestrians, and

especially children. Be aware that

some objects may not be detected

by the sensors, due to the objects

distance, size or material, all of

which can limit the effectiveness of

the sensor. Always perform a visual

inspection to make sure the vehicle

is clear of all obstructions before

moving the vehicle in any direction.
