Limitations of Reverse Parking Distance Warning

Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not assist braking or warn the driver even if there are pedestrians or objects under the following circumstances:

  • Any non-factory equipment or accessory is installed

  • Your vehicle is unstable due to an accident or other causes

  • Bumper height or rear ultrasonic sensor installation has been modified

  • Rear view camera or rear ultrasonic sensor(s) is damaged

  • Rear view camera or the rear ultrasonic sensor(s) is stained with foreign matter, such as snow, dirt, etc.

  • Rear view camera is obscured by a light source or by inclement weather, such as heavy rain, fog, snow, etc.

  • The surrounding is very bright or very dark

  • Outside temperature is very high or very low

  • The wind is either strong (above 12 mph (20 km/h)) or blowing perpendicular to the rear bumper

  • Objects generating excessive noise, such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle engines or truck air brakes, are near your vehicle

  • An ultrasonic sensor with similar frequency is near your vehicle

  • There is ground height difference between the vehicle and the pedestrian

  • The image of the pedestrian in the rear view camera is indistinguishable from the background

  • The pedestrian is near the rear edge of the vehicle

  • The pedestrian is not standing upright

  • The pedestrian is either very short or very tall for the function to detect

  • The pedestrian or cyclist is wearing clothing that easily blends into the background, making it difficult to detect

  • The pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves well

  • Size, thickness, height, or shape of the object does not reflect ultrasonic waves well (e.g., pole, bush, curbs, carts, edge of a wall, etc.)

  • The pedestrian or the object is moving

  • The pedestrian or the object is very close to the rear of the vehicle

  • A wall is behind the pedestrian or the object

  • The object is not located at the rear center of your vehicle

  • The object is not parallel to the rear bumper

  • The road is slippery or inclined

  • The driver backs up the vehicle immediately after shifting to R (Reverse)

  • The driver accelerates or circles the vehicle

Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may unnecessarily warn the driver or assist with braking even if there are no pedestrians or objects under the following circumstances:

  • Any non-factory equipment or accessory is installed

  • Your vehicle is unstable due to an accident or other causes

  • Bumper height or rear ultrasonic sensor installation has been modified

  • Your vehicle height is low or high due to heavy loads, abnormal tire pressure, etc.

  • Rear view camera or the rear ultrasonic sensor(s) is stained with foreign matter, such as snow, dirt, etc.

  • The pattern on the road is mistaken for a pedestrian

  • There is shadow or light reflecting on the ground

  • Pedestrians or objects are around the path of the vehicle

  • Objects generating excessive noise, such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle engines or truck air brakes, are near your vehicle

  • Your vehicle is backing towards a narrow passage or parking space

  • Your vehicle is backing towards an uneven road surface, such as an unpaved road, gravel, bump, gradient, etc.

  • A trailer or carrier is installed on the rear of your vehicle

  • An ultrasonic sensor with similar frequency is near your vehicle
