HANDLING PRECAUTION

Precautions for Moving Objects Detection


REAR VIEW CAMERA HANDLING

- The rear view camera which is located on the back of the trunk performs the Moving Object Detection system.
- Always keep the rear view camera lens clean.
- Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material), install an accessory or paint work over the camera lens.
- Do not strike or scratch the lens causing physical damage to the camera or the surrounding area.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION

- The Moving Object Detection system is not a replacement for proper driving procedure and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When backing up, always look in the direction driver will move to ensure it is safe to proceed. Never rely solely on the Moving Object Detection system.
- Using the Moving Object Detection system under some road or weather conditions could lead to improper system operation. Always rely on driver's own steering and braking operation to avoid accidents.
- The Moving Object Detection system may not provide a warning for vehicles that pass through the detection zone quickly.
- Do not use the Moving Object Detection system when towing a trailer.
- Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
- The rear view camera may not be able to detect and activate Moving Object Detection when certain objects are present such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
- A vehicle passing at a speed greater than approximately 15 MPH (24km/h).
- Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
- Do not use the MOD system under the following conditions because the system may not function properly:
- When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire condition (example: tire wear, low pressure, spare tire, chain, non-standard wheels).
- When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspension parts.
