In the cases below, the parking sensor (sonar)
will be turned back on automatically:
.
When the shift lever is in the “P” (Park) or “N”
(Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects the
moving objects in the bird’s-eye view. The
MOD system will not operate if the outside
mirror is moving in or out or if either door is
opened.
When the shift lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 8 km/h (5 MPH), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the front
view or front-wide view.
When the shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 8 km/h (5 MPH), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the rear
view or rear-wide view. The MOD system
will not operate if the back door is open.
.
.
The MOD system does not detect sta-
tionary objects.
Do not use the MOD system when towing
a trailer (if available). The system may not
function properly.
Excessive noise (such as from the audio
system or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be audible.
The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
.
When the shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse)
position.
.
When the CAMERA button is pushed and a
screen other than the camera view is
shown on the display.
.
.
.
.
.
.
When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 8 km/h (5 MPH).
When the ignition switch is placed in the
“OFF” position and turned back to the “ON”
position again.
.
When the “Sonar/MOD” key is selected, the

Model with dual display: To prevent the parking
sensor (sonar) system from activating alto-
gether, change the setting from the parking
sensor (sonar) setting menu. (See “Setting
operation (Type A)” (P.5-97).)
Model with single display: To prevent the
parking sensor (sonar) system from activating
altogether, change the setting from the cam-
era setting menu. (See “Setting operation (Type
B)” (P.4-18).)
— When there is blinking source of light
— When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlights or sunlight is
present
— When the camera orientation is not in
its usual position, such as when
mirror is folded
NOTE:
.
The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
indicator is not displayed on the screen
when in this view.
— When there is dirt, water drops or

snow on the camera lens
Touching the “Sonar/MOD” key will also turn
the parking sensor (sonar) system on/off
temporarily.
— When the position of the moving
objects in the display is not changed
The MOD system might detect something
like flowing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler, or
moving shadows, etc.
The MOD system may not function prop-
erly depending on the speed, direction,
distance or shape of the moving objects.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the
area where the camera is installed, leav-
ing it misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered and the MOD system
may not detect objects properly.

WARNING:
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of moving objects surround-
ing the vehicle when driving out of garages,
maneuvering into parking lots and other such
instances.
.
The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with the ob-
jects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirror and rear view mirror and turn
and check the surrounding to ensure it
is safe to maneuver.
.
.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown on the display.
The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is displayed:
Display screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio system 4-15
