Forward Parking Distance Warning

  • Forward Parking Distance Warning works in 3 ways following:

    • The gear is shifted from R (Reverse) to D (Drive) with Reverse Parking Distance Warning on

    • The gear is in D (Drive) and the Parking Safety button indicator light is on

    • 'Parking Distance Warning Auto On' is selected from the Settings menu and the gear is in D (Drive)

  • Forward Parking Distance Warning detects a person, animal or object in front when the vehicle's forward speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h).

  • Forward Parking Distance Warning does not operate when the vehicle's forward speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h) even when the Parking Safety button indicator is on. Forward Parking Distance Warning will operate again when the vehicle's forward speed decreases below 6 mph (10 km/h) while the Parking Safety button indicator is on.

  • When 'Parking Distance Warning Auto On' is selected, the Parking Safety button indicator light stays on.

  • When 'Parking Distance Warning Auto On' is deselected, and the vehicle's forward speed is above 12 mph (20 km/h), the Parking Safety button indicator will turn off. Although you drive below 6 mph (10 km/h), the function will not turn on.
