UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 167 CAUTION! • The Rear Park Assist is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity. • The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the Rear Park Assist to be able to stop in time when the obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver look over his/her shoulder when using the Rear Park Assist. NOTE: • Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris to keep the system operating properly. • Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of the system.
