Features of your vehicle

The parking distance warning-reverse
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle 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
back sensors are limited. Whenever
backing-up, pay as much attention to
what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a parking distance
warning-reverse.

Operation of the parking dis-
tance warning-reverse

Operating condition

• This system will activate when the

indicator on the rear parking assist
OFF button is not illuminated. If
you desire to deactivate the park-
ing distance warning-reverse,
press the rear parking assist OFF
button again. (The indicator on the
button will illuminate.) To turn the
system on, press the button again.
(The indicator on the button will go
off.)
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.

PARKING DISTANCE WARNING-REVERSE (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING

-

Parking distance warning-
reverse

Never rely solely on the parking
distance warning-reverse.
Always perform a visual inspec-
tion to make sure the vehicle is
clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion. Stop immediately if you are
aware of a child anywhere near
your vehicle. Some objects may
not be detected by the sensors,
due to the object's size or mate-
rial.

• This system will activate when

backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.

• The sensing distance while the

back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 47 in. (120
cm) at the rear bumper center
area, 23.5 in. (60 cm) at the rear
bumper both side area.

• When more than two objects are

sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Types of warning sound

• When an object is 47 in. to 24 in.

(120 cm to 61 cm) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-
tently.

• When an object is 24 in. to 12 in.

(60 cm to 31 cm) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-
quently.

• When an object is within 12 in. (30

cm) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.

Non-operational conditions of
parking distance warning-
reverse

The parking distance warning-
reverse may not operate properly
when:

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It

will operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)

2. The sensor is covered with foreign

matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces

(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).

4. Objects generating excessive

noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, 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
sensor.

7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing

4 123

Features of your vehicle

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) in height and narrower
than 6 in. (14 cm) in diameter.

Parking distance warning-
reverse precautions

• The parking distance warning-

reverse may not sound consistent-
ly depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.

• The parking distance warning-

reverse may malfunction if the vehi-
cle bumper height or sensor instal-
lation has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may also
interfere with the sensor perform-
ance.

• The sensor may not recognize

objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.

• When the sensor is frozen or

SOILED with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the MATERIAL IS removed using a
soft cloth.

• Do not push, scratch or strike the

sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.

✽

✽

NOTICE

This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors. It cannot 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.
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.

ficulty of ensuring that the areas
behind you remains clear, always
back up slowly and stop immedi-
ately if you even suspect that a
person, and especially a child,
might be behind you.

cle before and while moving.

4 131

Features of your vehicle

Battery saver function

• The purpose of this feature is to

prevent the battery from being dis-
charged if the lights are left in the
ON position. The system automati-
cally shuts off the parking lights 30
seconds after the ignition key is
removed and the driver’s door is
opened and closed.

• With this feature, the parking lights

will turn off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of the road at night
and opens the driver’s side door.
If necessary, to keep the parking
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.

Headlight escort function

If you turn the ignition switch to the
ACC or OFF position with the head-
lights 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.
If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except driver’s
door), the battery saver function
does not operate and the headlight
escort function does not turn off
automatically. Therefore, It causes
the battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.

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) Auto light position (if equipped)
(3) Position & Tail light
(4) Headlight position
