WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the sonar
function as outlined in this section
could result in serious injury or death.

∙ The sonar is a convenience feature. It

is not a substitute for proper parking.

∙ This function is designed as an aid to

the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.

∙ The driver is always responsible for

safety

during

parking

and

other

maneuvers.

∙ Always look around and check that it

is safe to move before parking.

∙ Read and understand the limitations

of the sonar as contained in this
section.

The sonar function helps to inform the
driver of large stationary objects around
the vehicle when parking by issuing an au-
dible and visual alert.

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION

The system gives the tone for rear objects
when the shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse)
position.

When the camera image is shown on the cen-
ter display, the system shows the sonar indi-
cator regardless of the shift lever position.

The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.

The colors of the sonar indicators and the dis-
tance guide lines in the front and rear views
indicate different distances to the object.

When the objects are detected, the indica-
tor (green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the rate of the tone increase.
When the vehicle is very close to the object,
the indicator stops blinking and turns red,
and the tone sounds continuously.

The intermittent tone will stop after 3 sec-
onds when an object is detected by only
the corner sonar and the distance does
not change.

The tone will stop when the object is no
longer near the vehicle.
