system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the RSS as contained in
this section. Inclement weather
may affect the function of the
RSS; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation.
. The system is deactivated at
speeds above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
It is reactivated at lower speeds.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may
affect the function of the RSS;
this may include reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
. The RSS is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or mov-
ing objects. Always move slowly.
The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper or on
the ground.
. The RSS may not detect the
following objects: fluffy objects
such as snow, cloth, cotton,
glass-wool, etc.; thin objects such
as rope, wire and chain, etc.; or
wedge-shaped objects; complex-
shaped objects or multiple ob-
jects in close.
. The RSS may not detect objects
at speed above 3 MPH (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angu-
lar or moving objects.
. The RSS may not operate in the
following conditions:
— When rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc.
adheres to the sonar sensor.
— When a loud sound is heard in
the area around the vehicle.
— When the surface of the ob-
stacle is diagonal to the rear
of the vehicle.
— When a sonar sensor or the
area around the sensor is
extremely hot or cold.
. The RSS may unintentionally op-
erate in the following conditions:
— When there is overgrown
grass in the area around the
vehicle.
— When there are bumps, pro-
trusions or manhole covers on
the road surface.
— When the vehicle drives
through a draped flag or a
curtain.
— When there is an accumula-
tion of snow or ice behind the
vehicle.
— When driving on a steep hill.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When sonar blockage is detected, the
system will be deactivated automatically.
The system is not available until the
conditions no longer exist.
The sonar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog. The blocked
condition may also be caused by objects
such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
sonar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the system will resume automati-
cally.
