Parking Sensor System*

The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the beeper, driver information interface and audio/information screen let you know the approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.

Detail
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is no obstacle near your vehicle before parking.

The system may not work properly when:
  • The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or dirt.
  • The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.
  • There is something nearby that emits ultrasonic waves or high frequency sounds.
  • Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).

The system may not detect these obstacles:
  • Thin or low objects.
  • Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton, or sponge.
  • Objects directly under the bumper.

The system may falsely detect obstacles in the following situations:
  • The vehicle is on uneven surface, such as grass, bumps, or a hill.
  • When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or other objects that emit ultrasonic waves.
  • There is splashing water near the sensors due to heavy rains, etc.

Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.

When you set the power mode to ON, the system will be in the previously selected condition.

The sensor location and range

Parking sensor system on and off

You can turn the system on and off using the driver information interface.

The front corner, rear corner and rear center sensors start to detect an obstacle when the transmission is in R, and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

The front corner and front center sensors start to detect an obstacle when the transmission is in any position other than P or R, and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

Screen Operation

You can switch between split view off and split view on by touching the split screen tab.

When the distance between your vehicle and detected obstacles becomes shorter

  1. On the driver information interface
  2. On the audio/information screen
  3. At this stage, only the center sensors detect obstacles.
    To temporarily turn off the beeper, press the left selector wheel while it is sounding. Temporary OFF will be canceled when the shift position is switched or the vehicle speed reaches 9 mph (14 km/h) or higher.
