Parking Assistance System
Using the Parking Assistance System
The parking assistance system helps detect obstacles when maneuvering. Always exercise extreme caution when parking.
Important Notes:
- The system may not detect moving objects like children or animals until they are very close.
- Narrow poles, small ground-level objects, and dark, non-reflective surfaces may not be detected by the sensors.
System Operation:
- When reverse gear is engaged, the front and rear parking sensors automatically activate, and an indicator illuminates in the switch.
- To manually activate the front sensors, press the PDC button. A short audible signal confirms activation, and the indicator in the switch illuminates.
- To deactivate the system, press the button again; the indicator will turn off.
Sensor Range:
- Front and rear corner sensors have a range of approximately 600 mm (24 inches).
- Central rear sensors have a range of approximately 1500 mm (60 inches).
Front sensors remain active until the vehicle speed exceeds 16 km/h (10 mph). If the gear is shifted to Neutral (N) after Reverse (R), the front and rear sensors will remain active.
When an object is detected, the system emits an audible signal. The frequency of the signal increases as the vehicle approaches the object and becomes continuous when the distance is approximately 300 mm (12 inches).
Note: The parking assistance system provides audible warnings when approaching obstacles while moving forward or backward.
Towing
When a trailer is connected, the rear sensors are automatically deactivated.
Sensor Maintenance
Important:
- Do not direct high-pressure water jets at the sensors when washing the vehicle.
- Avoid using abrasive materials or hard/sharp objects to clean the sensors.
- Use only approved automotive shampoos.
Keep the sensors clean to ensure accuracy and proper function. [warning-symbol]
System Malfunction
If a system malfunction is detected, a continuous high-pitched tone will sound, and the switch indicator will flash. Contact a dealer or service center as soon as possible for assistance. [information-symbol]
