Driving and Operating Warning (Continued) or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms. The Rear Parking Assist (RPA) sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper when the shift lever is in R (Reverse). The system may not detect objects at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. The RPA detects objects up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) from the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper. As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases. When the obstacle is less than 25 cm (10 in) away, the tone will sound continuously. If the RPA detects a stationary or receding object further than 25 cm (10 in) 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. The RPA automatically turns on when the shift lever is placed in R (Reverse) and the ignition switch is in ON. The RPA OFF switch on the instrument panel allows the driver to turn the RPA on and off. To turn the RPA off, the ignition switch must be placed in ON. An indicator light on the switch will illuminate when the system is turned off. If the indicator light illuminates when the RPA is not turned off, it may indicate a malfunction in the RPA. Keep the RPA sensors, located on the rear bumper, free from snow, ice, and large accumulations of dirt. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects. If the sensors are covered, it will affect the accuracy of the RPA. 9-31 Rear Vision Camera (RVC) When the shift lever is shifted into R (Reverse), the display shows the view to the rear of the vehicle. { Warning .
