WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the sonar function as outlined in this section could result in serious injury or death.

• The sonar is a convenience feature. It is not a substitute for proper parking.
• This function is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
• The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other maneuvers.
• Always look around and check that it is safe to move before parking.
• Read and understand the limitations of the sonar as contained in this section.

The sonar function helps to inform the driver of large stationary objects around the vehicle when parking by issuing an audible and visual alert.

Sonar system operation

1. Center display
2. MENU button
3. CAMERA button

The system gives the tone for rear objects when the shift lever is in the "R" (Reverse) position.

When the camera image is shown on the center display, the system shows the sonar indicator regardless of the shift lever position.

The system is deactivated at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower speeds.

The colors of the sonar indicators and the distance guide lines in the front and rear views indicate different distances to the object.

When the objects are detected, the indicator (green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow and the rate of the blinking and the rate of the tone increase.

When the vehicle is very close to the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns red, and the tone sounds continuously.

The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds when an object is detected by only the corner sonar and the distance does not change.

The tone will stop when the object is no longer near the vehicle.
