PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The parking assist system assists the
driver during movement of the vehicle
by chiming if any object is sensed with‐
in the distance of 100 cm (39.3 in.) in
front and 120 cm (47 in.) behind the
vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects detecta‐
ble by the sensors are limited. Whenev‐
er 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.
WARNING
The parking assist system should
only be considered as a supplemen‐
tary function. The driver must check
the front and rear view. The opera‐
tional function of the parking assist
system can be affected by many
factors and conditions of the sur‐
roundings, so the responsibility rests
always with the driver.

• This system activates when the
parking assist system button is
pressed with the ignition switch ON.
• The indicator of the parking assist
system button turns on automatical‐
ly and activates the parking assist
system when you shift the gear to
the R (Reverse) position. It will turn
off automatically when you drive
above 20 km/h (12.4 mph).
• The sensing distance while moving
forward is approximately 60 cm
(24 in.) when you are driving less
than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.
• If the vehicle speed is above 20 km/h,
the system automatically turns off.
To activate again, push the button.

It may not operate if it s distance
from the object is already less than
approximately 25 cm when the sys‐

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 objects, such as poles or ob‐
jects located between sensors may not be detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the vehicle when backing up.
• Be sure to inform any drivers of the vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the system regarding the systems capabilities
and limitations.
Non-operational conditions of
parking assist system
Parking assist system may not
operate normally when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor (It
will operate normally when mois‐
ture melts).
2. Sensor is covered with foreign mat‐
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked. (It will op‐
erate normally when the material
is removed or the sensor is no lon‐
ger blocked).
3. Sensor is stained with foreign mat‐
ter such as snow or water. (Sensing
range will return to normal when
removed.)
4. The parking assist button is off.
There is a possibility of parking
assist system malfunction when:
1. Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
2. Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor‐
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
3. Heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones present near the sensor.
5. Sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
1. Outside air temperature is ex‐
tremely hot or cold.
2. Undetectable objects smaller than
1 m and narrower than 14 cm in di‐
ameter.
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 sen‐
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Features of your vehicle
4-92
NOTICE
1. The warning may not sound se‐
quentially depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
2. The parking assist system may
malfunction if the vehicle bump‐
er height or sensor installation
has been modified. Any non-fac‐
tory installed equipment or ac‐
cessories may also interfere
with the sensor performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize ob‐
jects less than 30 cm from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect distance. Use with caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow 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 with any hard objects
that could damage the surface
of the sensor. Sensor damage
could occur.
NOTICE
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 objects,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving.
Be sure to inform any drivers in the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to objects on the road,
particularly pedestrians, and espe‐
cially 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 lim‐
it the effectiveness of the sensor.
Always perform a visual inspection
(Continued)
(Continued)
to make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction.
Self-diagnosis
When you shift the gear to the R (Re‐
verse) position and if one or more of
the below occurs you may have a mal‐
function in the rear parking assist sys‐
tem.
• You don't hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter‐
mittently.

LIGHTING
Battery saver function
• The purpose of this feature is to pre‐
vent the battery from being dis‐
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when the
driver removes the ignition key and
opens the driver-side door.
• With this feature, the parking lights
will turn off automatically if the driv‐
er parks on the side of the road at
night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed,
perform the following:
1. Open the driver-side door.
2. Turn the parking lights OFF and ON
again using the light switch on the
steering column.
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except driver's
door), the battery saver function
does not operate. Therefore, It cau‐
ses the battery to be discharged. In
this case, make sure to turn off the
lamp before getting out of the vehi‐
cle.
Headlight escort function (if
equipped)
If you turn the ignition switch to the
ACC or OFF position with the headlights
ON, the headlights remain on for about
5 minutes. However, if the driver's door
is opened and closed, the headlights are
turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the trans‐
mitter (or smart key) twice or turning
the light switch to the OFF position.
❈
Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direc‐
tion, this asymmetric part will daz‐
zle oncoming car driver. To prevent
dazzle, ECE regulation demand sev‐
eral technical solutions (ex. auto‐
matic change system, adhesive
sheet, down aiming). This head‐
lamps are designed not to dazzle
opposite drivers. So, you need not
change your headlamps in a coun‐
try with opposite traffic direction.
Lighting control
The light switch has a Headlight and a
Parking light position.
To operate the lights, turn the knob at
the end of the control lever to one of
the following positions:
1. OFF position
2. Position light position
3. Headlight position
4. Auto light position (if equipped)
