WARNING
● Alwaysturn and look back beforeback-
ing up. The RSS is not a substitute for
proper backing procedures.
● Read and understand the limitations of
the rear sonar system as contained in
this section. Inclement weather may af-
fect the function of the RSS; this may
include reduced performance or a false
activation.
● This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
● The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the
rear bumper fascia, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone may
be alteredcausing inaccuratemeasure-
ment of obstacles or false alarms.
The Rear Sonar System (RSS) sounds a tone to
warnthe driverof obstaclesnear therear bumper
when the shift selector is in R (Reverse). The
systemmaynotdetectobjects atspeedsabove3
mph (5 km/h) and may not detectcertain angular
or moving objects.
TheRSS detectsobstacles upto 5.9feet(1.8 m)
from the rearbumper with a decreased coverage
area at the outer corners of the bumper, (refer to
the illustration 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 (25.0cm) away, the tonewill
sound continuously. Ifthe RSS detectsa station-
ary 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 sys-
tem detects an object approaching, the tone will
sound again.
The RSS automatically turns on when the shift
selector is placed in R (Reverse) and the ignition
is ON. The RSS OFF switch on the instrument
panelallows thedriver toturn theRSS onand off.
Toturn the RSS off,the ignition mustbe ON, and
theshiftselector inR(Reverse).An indicatorlight
on the switch will illuminate when the system is
turned off. If the indicator light illuminates when
the RSS is not turned off, it may indicate a mal-
function in the RSS.
Keep the RSS sensors (located on the rear
bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt (do not clean the sensors
with sharp objects). If the sensors are covered,it
will affect the accuracy of the RSS.
