2. CAUTIONS

The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking.

Always keep the safety precautions.

Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or using a high-pressure water gun while washing, 

since it may damage the sensors.

If the system is in normal operating condition, a short beep sounds when the shift lever is moved 

into "R" position with the ignition key "ON".

If the system is defective, the warning buzzer sounds for 3 seconds when moving the gear shift 
lever to “R” position with the ignition ON. Be careful not to confuse this and the parking aid 

alarm (in 50 cm).

- Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area. Always check 

  nobody, especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle when parking or 

  reversing.

- If you can not properly check the vehicle behind, get out of the vehicle and then 

  visually check it.

The parking aid system will not work or improperly work under following cases:

▶

1) Certain obstacles that sensors can not detect

Thin and narrow objects, such as wires, ropes, chains

Cotton, sponge, clothes, snow; that absorb ultrasonic waves

Obstacles lower than the bumper (ex. drain ditch or mud puddle)

-

 -

 -

2) Not defective but improperly working

When the sensing portion is frozen (operates normally after thawed)

When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud (operates normally after 

cleaned)

When receiving other ultrasonic signals (metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial 

vehicles)

When a high-power radio is turned on

-

 -

 -

 -

3) Narrowed sensing area

When the sensing portion is partially covered by snow or mud (operates normally after cleaned)
Surrounding temperature of sensor is too high (approx. over 80°C) or too low 
(approx. below -30°C)

- 

-

4) Not defective but may cause malfunction

When driving on the rough roads, gravel road, hill and grass

When the bumper height is changed due to heavy load

When the sensing portion is frozen

When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud

When receiving other ultrasonic signals (metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial 

vehicles)

When a high-power radio is turned on

When some accessories are attached in detecting ranges

1. Overview

The parking aid system (PAS) is a supplementary device which detects the distance to any obstacle 

with the ultrasonic sensors equipped to the rear bumper and warns the driver with alarm sounds, when 

the vehicle is moving backward.

The system emits the ultrasonic wave signals from the sensors on the rear bumper with a specific 

interval and detects the reflected signals from obstacles. 

The alarm interval becomes shorter as the obstacle approaches to assure the safety distance and to 

facilitate parking of the vehicle.
