Do not apply a strong force to a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera:
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurised water against a
rear ultrasonic sensor and rear camera,
or rub it strongly. In addition, do not
hit the rear bumper forcefully when
loading and unloading cargo.
Otherwise, the sensors may not detect
obstructions correctly which could
cause the SBSR system to not operate
normally, or it could operate
unnecessarily.
CAUTION
When driving o-road in areas where
there is grass or foliage, it is
recommended that the
SBSR
system
be turned o.
Always use tyres of the specified size
and the same manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels. In
addition, do not use tyres with
significantly dierent wear patterns
on the same vehicle. Otherwise, the
SBSR system may not operate
normally.
If ice or snow is stuck on the rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera
they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on
the conditions. In such cases, the
system may not be able to perform
controls correctly. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the
rear of the vehicle.
NOTE

The vehicle posture changes
depending on the accelerator pedal,
brake pedal and steering wheel
operations, which could make it
dicult
for the system to recognise
an obstruction, or it could facilitate
unnecessary detection. In such cases,
the SBSR may or may not operate.
