Parking Aids (If Equipped)

WARNINGS The parking aid systemmay not prevent contactwith small ormoving objects that are close to the ground. The parking aid system gives an audible warning when it detects a large object helping to avoid damage to your vehicle. To help avoidpersonal injury youmust take care when using the parking aid system. Note: Some add-on accessories such as large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks can cause reduced performance or false alerts. Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked sensors may affect system accuracy. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects. Note: If your vehicle sustains damage leaving the sensors misaligned, this will cause inaccurate measurements or false alerts. The system warns you of objects that are within the detection zone of the bumper areas. When the parking aid system sounds a tone, the audio systemmay reduce the set volume. When thewarning ends, the audio system will return to the previously set volume. The rear parking aid sensors automatically turn on when you shift into reverse (R).
