Reversing sensor system*

This system operates when you are backing
the vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to
detect an obstacle and the information screen
in the instrument cluster and the buzzer to
inform you of the approximate distance to the
obstacle.

The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the
illustration. Moreover, the sensors are unable
to detect low or thin objects or objects near
the rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check the
surroundings as you operate the vehicle in a
safe manner.
There are four sensors (A) in the rear bumper.
Depending on whether the vehicle is
equipped with a towbar, you can change the
reversing sensor system between the standard
mode and the towbar mode. The towbar mode
changes the system to exclude the area in
which the towbar is mounted from the detec-
tion areas.
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 125 cm
(B) from the back sensors.
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 125 cm
(B) from the back sensors. The non-detection
areas (C) are within approximately 20 cm (D)
from the bumper.

CAUTION
The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly detect some objects. Therefore, do
not place excessive confidence in the revers-
ing sensor system, and operate the vehicle as
carefully as you would a vehicle without this
system.
Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing
sensor system alone.
