8.29.1. System operation

The system informs with a visual and audible alert of rear obstacles when the shift control system is in the R (Reverse) position.

The parking sensor (sonar) system is deactivated at speeds above 12 km/h (7.5 MPH). It is reactivated below 10 km/h (6 MPH).

The intermittent tone will stop after several seconds when an obstacle is identified only with the corner sensor. The tone will stop when the obstacle gets away from the vehicle.

When the object is detected, the indicator (green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to the object, the colour of the indicator turns yellow and the rate of the blinking increases. When the vehicle is very close to the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns red, and the tone sounds continuously.

When the rear of the vehicle moves closer to an obstacle, the parking sensor (sonar) indicator appears in the vehicle information display.

The parking sensor (sonar) indicator also appears on the camera view of the centre display.
