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.
The system detects certain objects while
the transmission is in reverse (R) :
•
•
Your vehicle is moving toward a
stationary object at a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
Your vehicle is not moving, but a
moving object is approaching the rear
of your vehicle at a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
•
Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a moving
object is approaching the rear of your
vehicle at a speed of less than 3 mph
(5 km/h).
•
An alternating warning sounds from
the front and rear if there are objects
at both bumpers that are closer than
12 in (30 cm).
FRONT PARKING AID

turn on when you shift into reverse (R) or
a forward gear.
The front sensors are active when the

park (P) and the vehicle speed is below
7 mph (12 km/h).
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
