The Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW) assists the driver when backing up by sounding an audible warning if any object is detected within 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.

This system is a supplemental system and is not intended to replace the driver's attention and care. The sensing range and objects detected by the rear sensors (➀) are limited. When backing up, pay as much attention to what is behind you as you would in a vehicle without the reverse parking distance warning.

WARNING - Reverse Parking Distance Warning

Never rely solely on the Reverse Parking Distance Warning. Always perform a visual inspection to make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of all obstacles before driving in any direction. Stop immediately if you know a child is anywhere near your vehicle. Some objects may not be detected by the sensors due to their size or material.
