Note: When a trailer is connected to the

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

vehicle, the Rear Sensing System may

detect the trailer and therefore provide

warnings. It is suggested that the driver

disables the Rear Sensing System when a

trailer is connected to the vehicle to prevent

these warnings.

WARNING: The system may not

detect objects with surfaces that absorb

reflection. Always drive with due care

and attention. Failure to take care may

result in a crash.

We recommend that you take some time

to get to know the system and its

limitations by reading this section.

The sensing system warns the driver of

obstacles within a certain range of your

vehicle. The system automatically turns

on each time you switch the ignition on.

WARNING:To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in

reverse (R) and when using the sensing

system.

The system may provide display or sound

warnings when the detected obstacle is

12 in (30 cm) or less from the bumper.

WARNING: The system may not

detect small or moving objects,

particularly those close to the ground.

The system can be switched off through

the information display menu or from the

pop-up message that appears once you

shift the transmission into reverse (R). If

your vehicle is equipped with a front

sensing system, you can switch the system

off using the parking aid button. See

General Information (page 93).

If a fault is present in the system, a warning

message appears in the information

display and does not allow you to switch

the system on.

Note: Certain add-on devices installed

around the rear fascia such as large trailer

hitches, bike or surfboard racks or certain

add-on devices installed around the front

fascia such as license plate brackets or

frames, bumper covers, bumper guards or

any other device that may block the normal

detection zone of the system, may create

false beeps.

Note: In these cases the add-on devices

must be removed in order to prevent the

false beeps.

Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice

and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked

sensors may affect system accuracy. Do

not clean the sensors with sharp objects.

See Information Messages (page 96).

Additionally, the system provides

obstacle distance indication through

the center stack display (if equipped).

The visual indications are present when

the transmission is in reverse (R).

increases. When the obstacle is less than

11.81 in (30 cm) the warning sounds

continuously. If the system detects an

object farther than 11.81 in (30 cm) from

the corners of the bumper, the tone sounds

for only three seconds. If the system

detects an approaching object the warning

sounds again.
