To operateStarting and driving / Reversing sensor system / To operate
To operate the system, move the gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R” position while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. When the reversing sensor system is operated, the reversing sensor system operation indication lamp (A) will turn on. To stop the operation, push the “SONAR” switch; the reversing sensor system operation indication lamp (A) is turned off.
Note
► Only when the gearshift lever or selector lever is in the “R” position, the reversing sensor system can be operated or be stopped by using the “SONAR” switch.
Warning for obstacles
If there is an obstacle behind the vehicle, a warning will be issued with the information screen in the multi-information display and a warning buzzer.

► The distances given are to be used for reference only, as errors may be caused by various factors, such as temperature, humidity, or the shape of the obstacles.
Note
► When the sensors detect different obstacles at the same time, the information
screen in the multi-information display indicates the directions of the obstacles
each sensor is detecting.
However, closer obstacles are given priority over other detected obstacles and the
warning buzzer sounds to inform you of closer obstacles.
Changing the detection areas
The detection areas can be changed as follows:
Vehicles with a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR” switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer sounds twice to indicate that the detection area has been changed.
Vehicles without a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR” switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer sounds once to indicate that the detection area has been changed.
Note
► The detection area will not change if you keep the “SONAR” switch pushed for
10 seconds or more.
► After pushing the “SONAR” switch, reversing sensor system operation differs according
to the detection area setting.
• Setting when towing bar is not equipped When the gearshift lever or selector lever is moved to the “R” position, the reversing sensor system will operate even if corner sensor operation was stopped by pushing the “SONAR” switch.
• Setting when towing bar is equipped When reversing sensor system operation was stopped by pushing the “SONAR” switch, the reversing sensor system will not operate until the engine has been stopped even if the gearshift lever or selector lever is moved to the “R” position.
To resume reversing sensor system operation, push the “SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R” position.
