The front parking aid sensors automatically turn on when you shift into reverse (R) or a forward gear.
The front sensors are active when the transmission is in any position other than park (P) and the vehicle speed is below 7 mph (12 km/h).
Front Sensing Zone
Coverage area of up to 28 in (70 cm) from the front bumper. There is decreased coverage area at the outer corners.
The system sounds an audible warning when obstacles are near either bumper in the following manner:
  • Objects detected by the front sensors are indicated by a high-pitched tone from the front of the vehicle.
  • Objects detected by the rear sensors are indicated by a lower pitched tone from the rear of the vehicle.
  • The sensing system reports the obstacle which is closest to the front or rear of the vehicle. For example, if an obstacle is 12 in (30 cm) from the front of the vehicle and, at the same time, an obstacle is only 6 in (15 cm) from the rear of the vehicle, the lower pitched tone sounds.
  • An alternating warning sounds from the front and rear if there are objects at both bumpers that are closer than 12 in (30 cm).
The system provides warnings when your vehicle is moving or when your vehicle is stationary and the detected obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away from the bumper.
