WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, always use caution

when in R (Reverse) and when using the RSS.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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 six

feet (two 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.

While receiving a warning the radio volume will be reduced to a

predetermined level. After the warning goes away, the radio will return

to the previous value.

The RSS automatically turns on when the gear selector is placed in R

(Reverse) and the ignition is on. A control in the message center allows
