UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 199 WARNING! • Drivers must be careful when backing up, even when using the Rear Park Assist. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. (Continued) WARNING! (Continued) • Before using the Rear Park Assist, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be disconnected from the vehicle, when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles, because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia when the warning display turns the red LEDs on. Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle. 3
