REAR PARK ASSIST
IF EQUIPPED
Rear Park Assist
Warning!
Do not rely completely on the parking
sensor system and be sure to confirm the
safety around your vehicle visually when
driving. This system can assist the driver in
operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The
detection ranges of the sensors are
limited, therefore, driving the vehicle while
relying only on the system may cause an
accident. Always confirm the safety
around your vehicle visually when driving.
Parking and other potentially dangerous
maneuvers are, however, always the
driver’s responsibility. When performing
these operations, always make sure that
there are no other people (especially
children) or animals on the route you want
to drive into. The parking sensors are an
aid for the driver, but the driver must never
allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous maneuvers, even
those executed at low speeds.
The Rear Park Assist System uses four
ultrasonic sensors (two rear sensors
and two rear corner sensors) to detect
obstructions around the vehicle while
parking the vehicle in a garage or
during parallel parking when the gear
selector is in REVERSE.
The system is equipped with an assist
device to notify the driver of the
approximate distance from the vehicle
to the surrounding obstruction using a
audible alert.
Note:
Do not install any accessories within
the detection ranges of the sensors. It
may affect the system operation.
Depending on the type of
obstruction and the surrounding
conditions, the detection range of a
sensor may narrow, or the sensors
may not be able to detect
obstructions.
The system may not operate
normally under the following
conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow adhered to the
sensor area (operation will return to
normal when removed).
The sensor area is frozen (operation
will return to normal when the ice is
thawed).
The sensor is covered by a hand or
excessive force has been applied to
the bumper.
The vehicle is on a steep incline.
Under extremely hot or cold
weather conditions.
The vehicle is driven on bumps,
inclines, gravel, or grass covered
roads.
Anything which generates
ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as
another vehicle's horn, the engine
sound of a motorcycle, the air brakes
of a large-sized vehicle, or another
vehicle's sensors.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or
in road conditions causing water
splash.
A antenna for a radio transmitter is
installed to the vehicle.
The vehicle is moving towards a tall
or square curbstone.
An obstruction is too close to the
sensor.
