To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in R

(Reverse) and when using the RSS.

This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or

moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to

assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging

the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly

those close to the ground.

Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or

surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal

detection zone of the RSS system may create false beeps.

The RSS detects obstacles up to 6

ft. (2 meters) from the rear bumper

with a decreased coverage area at

the outer corners of the bumper,

(refer to the figures for approximate

zone coverage areas). As you move

closer to the obstacle, the rate of

the tone increases. When the

obstacle is less than 10 inches (25.0

cm) away, the tone will sound

continuously. If the RSS detects a

stationary or receding object further

than 10 inches (25.0 cm) from the

side of the vehicle, the tone will

sound for only three seconds. Once

the system detects an object

approaching, the tone will sound

again.
