Parking Aids

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS

leaving the sensors misaligned, this will

cause inaccurate measurements or false

alerts.

WARNING: To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in

reverse (R) and when using the sensing

system.

When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,

the rear parking aid detects the trailer and

provides an alert. Disable the parking aid

when you connect a trailer to prevent the

alert.

Note: Certain add-on devices installed

around the bumper or fascia may create

false alerts, for example, large trailer

hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate

brackets, bumper covers or any other device

that could block the normal detection zone

of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare

tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear

tailgate could cause false alerts from the

park aid system. Remove the add-on device

to prevent 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.

WARNING: Traffic control systems,

fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,

air brakes, external motors and fans may

affect the correct operation of the

sensing system. This may cause reduced

performance or false alerts.

Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice

and large accumulations of dirt. If the

sensors are covered, the system's accuracy

can be affected.

WARNING: The system may not

detect small or moving objects,

particularly those close to the ground.

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.

Do not clean the sensors with sharp

objects.

Note: When using a programmed MyKey

you cannot switch this off. See MyKey™

(page 68).
