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  
reverse (R) and when using the sensing  
system.  
WARNING:Theparkingaidsystem  
can only assist you to detect objects  
when your vehicle is moving at parking  
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you  
must take care when using the parking  
aid system.  
The sensors are on the front and rear  
bumpers.  
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice  
and large accumulations of dirt.  
Note: Do not cover up the sensors.
