Note: Some accessories, such as large trailer hitches, bicycle racks or surfboard racks, may reduce system performance or cause false alerts.

The sensors are located on the front bumper.

The sensors are active when the transmission is in any position except Park (P). When the Parking Aid sounds an audible warning, the audio system volume may be reduced.

A warning tone sounds when your vehicle approaches an object. As your vehicle gets closer to the object, the tone frequency increases. The warning tone sounds continuously when an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the front bumper.

The system turns off when vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h).

The sensor detection range is up to 28 in (70 cm) from the center of the bumper.

When the transmission is in Reverse (R), the system detects objects when your vehicle is moving at low speed or an object is moving toward your vehicle, for example another vehicle moving at low speed. When you stop your vehicle, the audible warning turns off after two seconds.

When the transmission is in any forward gear, the system provides audible warnings when your vehicle is moving and an object is within the detection zone. When you stop your vehicle, the audible warning turns off after two seconds and the visual warning turns off after four seconds.

If the system detects a malfunction, a warning tone sounds and a message appears in the information display.

Object Distance Indicator (if equipped)

The system shows the distance to the object in the information display.

  • As the distance to the object decreases, the indicator segments light up and move toward the vehicle icon.
  • If no object is detected, the distance indicator segments are gray.

When you shift into any forward gear, the system provides audible warnings and a visual indication when your vehicle is moving at approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or less and the system detects an object in the detection zone. When you stop your vehicle, the audible warnings stop after two seconds and the visual indication stops after four seconds.

When you shift into Neutral (N), the system provides a visual indication only if your vehicle is moving at approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or less, for example when your vehicle is moving down a slope, and the system detects an object moving toward your vehicle. When you stop your vehicle, the visual indication stops after four seconds.
