when your vehicle is in any position other
than park (P) and the vehicle speed is less
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensor coverage area is up to 70 cm

If your vehicle is in reverse (R), the front
parking aid detects objects when your
vehicle is moving at a low speed or an

vehicle reaches a stop, the audio warning
stops after a few seconds. Visual indication
