Note: When a trailer is connected to the
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
vehicle, the Rear Sensing System may
detect the trailer and therefore provide
warnings. It is suggested that the driver
disables the Rear Sensing System when a
trailer is connected to the vehicle to prevent
these warnings.
WARNING: The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
We recommend that you take some time
to get to know the system and its
limitations by reading this section.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system automatically turns
on each time you switch the ignition on.
WARNING:To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.
The system may provide display or sound
warnings when the detected obstacle is
12 in (30 cm) or less from the bumper.
WARNING: The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground.
The system can be switched off through
the information display menu or from the
pop-up message that appears once you
shift the transmission into reverse (R). If
your vehicle is equipped with a front
sensing system, you can switch the system
off using the parking aid button. See
General Information (page 93).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display and does not allow you to switch
the system on.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed
around the rear fascia such as large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks or certain
add-on devices installed around the front
fascia such as license plate brackets or
frames, bumper covers, bumper guards or
any other device that may block the normal
detection zone of the system, may create
false beeps.
Note: In these cases the add-on devices
must be removed in order to prevent the
false beeps.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked
sensors may affect system accuracy. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
See Information Messages (page 96).

Additionally, the system provides
obstacle distance indication through

increases. When the obstacle is less than
11.81 in (30 cm) the warning sounds

object farther than 11.81 in (30 cm) from
the corners of the bumper, the tone sounds
for only three seconds. If the system
detects an approaching object the warning
sounds again.
