Park Assist Sensor System Operation

With front sensor and front corner sensor

The switch can be activated when the ignition is switched ON, the selector lever is in any position except reverse (R), and the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

When the parking sensor switch is pressed, a beep sound is heard, the obstruction detection indication is displayed in the audio screen, and the indicator light in the switch illuminates.

 

 

  • If the system is cancelled, it will not restore automatically even when the vehicle speed is decreased to 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

  • When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the parking sensor is activated, the system will be activated when the ignition is switched ON the next time.

The sensors detect obstructions under the following conditions:

Sensor

Condition

Front Sensor

The selector lever is in any position except reverse (R), and the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

Front Corner Sensor

The vehicle speed is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

The selector lever is in reverse (R).

Rear Corner Sensor

The selector lever is in reverse (R), and the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

The system is cancelled under the following conditions:

  • The parking sensor switch is pressed while the parking sensor is in operation.

  • The vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6 mph) or more. (Except rear sensor)

Without front sensor and front corner sensor

When the ignition is switched ON and the selector lever is shifted to the reverse (R), the beep sound activates and the system is enabled for use.

The sensors detect obstructions under the following conditions:

Sensor

Condition

Rear Sensor

The selector lever is in reverse (R).

Rear Corner Sensor

The selector lever is in reverse (R), and the vehicle speed is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

Obstruction Detection Indication

The position of a sensor which has detected an obstruction is indicated. The gauge illuminates in different areas depending on the distance to an obstruction detected by the sensor.

As the vehicle approaches closer to an obstruction, the zone in the gauge closer to the vehicle illuminates.

 

 

The detection indicator can switch between display and non-display.
