Driving your vehicle
504
The back warning system assists the
driver during backward movement of
the vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within a distance of 120 cm
(47 in.) behind the vehicle. This sys-
tem is a supplemental system and it
is not intended to nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and atten-
tion of the driver. The sensing range
and objects detectable by the back
sensors are limited. Whenever back-
ing-up, pay as much attention to
what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a back warning sys-
tem.
Operation of the back warning
system
Operating condition
• This system will activate when back-
ing up with the ignition switch ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system
may not be activated correctly.
• The sensing distance whilst the
Back Warning System is in opera-
tion is approximately 120 cm (47
in.).
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

(47 in. to 32 in.) from the rear

tently

the vehicle before and whilst
backing up.
