Non-Operating Conditions Parking Assist System

The Parking Assist System may not operate properly when:

• Moisture has frozen on the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the sensor cover is blocked.

Parking assistance is available. Fail-safe operation of the system occurs when:

• Driving on uneven road surfaces such as dirt roads, gravel, bumps, or slopes.
• Objects creating excessive noise, such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle engines, or truck air brakes, may interfere with the sensor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is present.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are located near the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.
• Any non-factory equipment or accessories have been installed, or the vehicle bumper height or sensor installation has been changed.

The detection range may decrease when:

• The outside air temperature is very hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than 40 in. (1 m) high and narrower than 6 in. (14 cm) in diameter.

The following objects may not be detected by the sensor:

• Sharp or thin objects, such as ropes, chains, or small poles.
• Objects that tend to absorb the sensor frequency, such as clothing, porous materials, or snow.

✽ NOTICE

The sensor may not detect objects less than 12 in. (30 cm) from the sensor, or it may detect an incorrect distance.

CAUTION

Do not push, scratch, or strike the sensor with any hard objects, as this may damage the sensor surface. The sensor may be damaged.

WARNING

The new vehicle warranty does not cover accidents or damage to the vehicle or injuries to its occupants related to the Parking Assist System. Always drive safely and carefully.
