Front and Rear Sensing System
The front and rear parking aid sensors turn
on automatically when you move the
transmission selector lever to R (reverse),
D (drive) or S (sport) and your vehicle is
moving at a speed of less than 7 mph (12
km/h).
E130382
A
The front parking aid sensor
coverage area is up to 31 inches
(80 centimeters) from the
center of your vehicle’s front
bumper and up to 14 inches (35
centimeters) to the side of your A
vehicle’s front bumper. The rear
parking aid sensor coverage area
is up to 72 inches (183
centimeters) from the center of
your vehicle’s rear bumper. There
is a decreased coverage area at
the outer corners.
Audible warnings will sound when large
objects are within the sensor coverage
areas of either bumper in the following
manner:
•
You will hear a high-pitched tone from
the front audio system speakers when
large objects are within the sensor
coverage area of your vehicle’s front
bumper. Moving your vehicle closer to
a large object will increase the audible
warning repeat rate.
• You will hear a lower-pitched tone
from the rear audio system speakers
when large objects are within the
sensor coverage area of your vehicle’s
rear bumper. Moving your vehicle closer
to a large object will increase the
audible warning repeat rate.
• The parking aid system prioritizes
audible warnings based on large
objects that are the closest to your
vehicle’s front or rear bumper. For
example, if an object is 24 inches (60
centimeters) from your vehicle’s front
bumper and at the same time, an
object is only 16 inches (40
centimeters) from your vehicle’s rear
bumper, you will hear the
lower-pitched tone from the rear audio
system speakers.
• You will hear an alternating audible
warning from the front and rear audio
system speakers if large objects are
less than 12 inches (30 centimeters)
from your vehicle’s front and rear
bumpers.
• If the object is more than 12 inches (30
centimeters) from the side of your
vehicle’s bumper area the audible
warning will sound for three seconds.
If the object is less than 12 inches (30
centimeters) from the side of your
vehicle’s bumper area the audible
warning will sound continuously.
