SIDE SENSING SYSTEM

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage

leaving the sensors misaligned, this may

cause inaccurate measurements or false

alerts.

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.

Note: If you switch traction control off, the

side sensing system also turns off.

Note: Some accessories, for example large

trailer hitches or bike or surfboard racks can

cause reduced performance or false alerts.

Note: The system does not detect an object

that is moving toward the side of your

vehicle, for example another vehicle moving

at low speed, if it does not pass a front or

rear sensor.

The system uses the front and rear

outermost parking aid sensors to detect

objects that are near to the sides of your

vehicle. The system displays them on a

virtual map in the information display as

your vehicle moves past them.

WARNING: The system may not

detect small or moving objects,

particularly those close to the ground.

WARNING: To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in

REAR VIEW CAMERA

WARNING: The rear view camera

system is a reverse aid supplement

device that still requires the driver to use

it in conjunction with the interior and

exterior mirrors for maximum coverage.

WARNING: Use caution when the

liftgate is ajar. If the liftgate is ajar, the

camera will be out of position and the

video image may be incorrect. All

guidelines disappear when the liftgate

is ajar. Failure to follow this instruction

could result in personal injury.

WARNING: Objects that are close

to either corner of the bumper or under

the bumper, might not be seen on the

screen due to the limited coverage of the

camera system.

vehicle is moving.

•

Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse

lamps are not operating.

•

If the camera is obstructed. Clean the

lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and

non-abrasive cleaner.

WARNING: The operation of the

camera may vary depending on the

ambient temperature, vehicle and road

conditions.

•

The camera is misaligned due to

damage to the rear of your vehicle.

WARNING: To help avoid personal

injury always use caution when in reverse

(R) and when using the rear view

camera.

Rear View Camera Guidelines

WARNING: Objects above the

camera may not be visible. Check the

area behind your vehicle when necessary.

The rear view camera provides an image

of the area behind your vehicle. During

operation, lines appear in the display that

represents the path of your vehicle and

proximity to objects behind it.

If the vehicle battery is disconnected, the

guidelines are not fully functional directly
