Parking Aid
Press the parking aid button to switch the system on and off.
WARNING:
The parking aid system can only assist you to detect objects when your vehicle is moving at parking speeds. To help avoid personal injury you must take care when using the parking aid system.
WARNING:
Traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement weather, air brakes, external motors and fans may affect the correct operation of the sensing system. This may cause reduced performance or false alerts.
WARNING:
The system may not detect small or moving objects, particularly those close to the ground. |
Press the parking aid button to switch the system on and off.The system becomes active when you shift into reverse (R) and the vehicle speed is
5 mph (8 km/h) or less. The system remains active when you shift out of reverse (R) until the vehicle speed is greater than
5 mph (8 km/h), or until you press the parking aid button.
Note:
The system could turn off when you shift out of reverse (R).
The system warns you of objects that are within the detection zone of the bumper areas.
A Sensor coverage area is up to 27 in (70 cm) from the front bumper. There is decreased coverage area at the outer corners. B Sensor coverage area is up to 71 ± 1 in (180 ± 2 cm) from the rear bumper. |
Note:
Accessories that block the detection zone of the system may create false alerts.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage leaving the sensors misaligned, this may cause inaccurate measurements or false alerts.
A tone sounds in the following manner when objects are near the front or rear bumpers:- Objects detected by the front sensors produce a high-pitched tone from the front speakers.
- Objects detected by the rear sensors produce a low-pitched tone from the rear speakers.
- The system reports the object that is closest to the front or rear of your vehicle.For example, if an object is 24 in (60 cm) from the front of your vehicle and at the same time, an object is only 16 in (40 cm) from the rear of your vehicle, a lower-pitched tone sounds from the rear speakers.
- A continuous tone sounds from a front or rear speaker if an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the front or rear of your vehicle.
As your vehicle moves closer to an object, the rate of the tone increases.
When the parking aid system sounds a tone, the audio system may reduce the set volume. When the warning ends, the audio system returns to the previously set volume.
Note:
Volume reduction is not a standard feature of all audio systems.
The system detects objects when you shift into reverse (R) and:- Your vehicle is moving toward a stationary object at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
- Your vehicle is stationary but an object is approaching your vehicle at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
- Your vehicle is moving at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less, and an object is approaching your vehicle at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
