_& WARNING
- Sensors have dead spaces in which ob-
jects cannot be detected. Be especially
alert for small children and animals,
since they are not always detected by the
sensors.
- The acoustic park ing system is not a sub-
st itute for the driver 's own caut ion and
alertness. Ultimate responsibi lity always
remains with the driver during parking
and simi lar maneuvers. Always watch
where you are driving.
- You should always adjust the volume and
frequency of the warning tones so that
you can easily hear the acoustic distance
warning even if the radio is playing, the
air-cond itioner blower is on High or there
is a high level of outside noise.
- Check the settings whenever anyone
else has driven the vehicle before you.
(D Note
- Remember that low obstacles for wh ich
a warn ing has already been issued may
"dive" below the system's sensing zone if
the vehicle is being backed up closer. In
th is case, the warn ing sound shutting off
does
not indicate that you have cleared
the obstacle . Instead, impact is immi-
nent.
- Objects such as trailer hitches, chains,
narrow posts or fences covered by a th in
layer of paint may not always be detect-
ed by the system. They can still damage
your vehicle without warning.
@ Tips
Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean
and free of snow and ice so that the acous-
tic parking assist system can function
properly.
