Specifications

The reverse sensing portion of the
system detects obstacles up to 2
meters (6 feet) from the rear
bumper with a decreased coverage
area at the outer corners of the
bumper, (refer to the illustration for
approximate zone coverage areas).
As you move closer to the obstacle,
the rate of the tone increases. When
the obstacle is less than 25.0 cm (10
in.) away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25.0 cm (10 in.) from the side
of the vehicle, the tone will sound
for only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.
To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the
limitations of the forward and reverse sensing system as
contained in this section. Sensing is only an aid for some (generally
large and fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat surface at
“parking speeds”. Inclement weather may also affect the function of
the sensing system; this may include reduced performance or a false
activation.
To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in R
(Reverse) and when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or
moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to
assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly
those close to the ground.
