WARNING: Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches,
bike or surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal
detection zone of the forward and reverse sensing system may create
false beeps.
The system detects obstacles up to
6 ft (2 m) from the rear bumper with
a decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper, (refer
to the illustration for approximate
zone coverage areas). As you move
closer to the obstacle, the rate of the
tone increases. When the obstacle is
less than 10 inches (25 cm) away,
the tone will sound continuously. If
the system detects a stationary or
receding object further than
10 inches (25 cm) from the side of
the vehicle, the tone will sound for
only three seconds. Once the system
detects an object approaching, the
tone will sound again.
While receiving a detection warning,
the radio volume will be reduced to
a predetermined level. After the
warning goes away, the radio will
return to the previous value.
The system is automatically turns on when the gearshift lever is placed
in R (Reverse) and the ignition is on. A control in the message center
allows the driver to disable the system. Refer to Message center in the
Instrument Cluster chapter for more information.
Note: If the system cannot be turned off, refer to MyKey™ in the Locks
and Security chapter for more information.
Keep the sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt (do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects). If the sensors are covered, it will
affect the accuracy of the system.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
