Function operation

Operating conditions

  • When the Parking Safety () button is pressed while the engine running, the button indicator light will illuminate and will operate when the vehicle moves forward or backward.

  • When the button is off (button indicator light off), if you change the gear to R (Reverse), the function will automatically turn on.

  • Reverse Parking Distance Warning may not operate properly at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph). If vehicle speed is above 10 km/h (6 mph), the function will not warn the driver, and if vehicle speed is above 20 km/h (12 mph), the function will turn off.

  • If equipped with Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, Reverse Parking Distance Warning will turn off when vehicle speed is above 30 km/h (18 mph). Although you drive below 20 km/h (12 mph) again, the function will not turn on.

  • When an obstacle is detected, it is displayed on the cluster and infotainment system screen.

  • When more than two objects are detected at the same time, the closest one will be warned with an audible warning.

  • The corresponding indicator will illuminate whenever each ultrasonic senor detects a object in its sensing range.

  • If an object is within 30 cm (12 in.) from the ultrasonic sensors, the sensors may not detect the object, or a sensor out of the detecting range may warn the driver.

  • Distance warning may not occur sequentially depending on vehicle speed or obstacle shape.

  • Indicators and warning sounds may differ from the illustration when obstacles are located in the center of the sensor, obstacles are located in close proximity to the vehicle, or in various circumstances.

  • The shape of the indicator in the illustration may differ from the actual vehicle.
