uuParking Your VehicleuWhen Stopped
1When Stopped
In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake
may freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are
expected, do not apply the parking brake but, if
parking on a slope, either turn the front wheels so
they will contact the curb if the vehicle rolls down the
slope or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the
vehicle may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.
After shutting off the engine, you may hear certain
noises coming from the vehicle. Hereβs the lowdown:
β’ Noise from Under Vehicle: This noise is caused by
the vacuum pump inside the fuel evaporation
leakage check module (ELCM).
Depending on conditions, the pump will come on
for about 15 minutes about 5 to 10 hours after
engine shutoff. This noise is just normal vehicle
operation and donβt indicate a vehicle problem.

uuParking Your VehicleuParking Sensor System*
Parking Sensor System*
The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the
beeper, driver information interface and audio/information screen let you know the
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.
1Parking Sensor System*
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is
no obstacle near your vehicle before parking.
The system may not work properly when:
β’ The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or dirt.
β’ The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.
β’ There is something nearby that emits ultrasonic
waves or high frequency sounds.
β The sensor location and range

β’ Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
β’ Any accessories have been put on or around the
sensors.
The system may not detect these obstacles:
β’ Thin or low objects.
β’ Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton,
or sponge.
β’ Objects directly under the bumper.
The system may falsely detect obstacles in the
following situations:
β’ The vehicle is on uneven surface, such as grass,
bumps, or a hill.
Within about 24 in (60 cm) or less
Front: Within about 31 in (80 cm) or less
Rear: Within about 43 in (110 cm) or less
β’ When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or
other objects that emit ultrasonic waves.
β’ There is splashing water near the sensors due to
heavy rains, etc.
Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.
uIf you put any accessories (such as a towing hitch
or bicycle rack) on or around the rear sensors, the
system may activate if it detects these accessories as
an obstacle. In this case, turn off the rear sensor.

Cross Traffic Monitor*
1Cross Traffic Monitor*
Monitors the rear corner areas using the radar sensors when reversing, and alerts
you if a vehicle approaching from a rear corner is detected.
3CAUTION
Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all
approaching vehicles and may not detect
an approaching vehicle at all.
The system is convenient when you are backing out of a parking space.
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
back up the vehicle before doing so may
result in a collision.
Do not solely rely on the system when
reversing; always also use your mirrors, and
look behind and to the sides of your vehicle
before reversing.

the Cross Traffic Monitor buzzer when the sensors
are detecting obstacles at the closest range.

How the System Works
β
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay
alerting an approaching vehicle, or may alert without
an approaching vehicle under the following
conditions:
β’ An obstacle, such as another vehicle and a wall,
near your vehicleβs rear bumper, is blocking the
radar sensorβs scope.
The system activates when:
β’ The power mode is in ON.
β’ The Cross Traffic Monitor is turned on.
2 Cross Traffic Monitor On and Off P. 566
β’ The transmission is in (R.
β’ Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or
lower.
β’ Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph
(5 km/h) or higher.
β’ A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than
between about 6 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (25
km/h).
β’ The system picks up external interference such as
other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong
radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.
β’ Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with
snow, ice, mud or dirt.
Radar sensors:
Underneath the rear bumper
corners
When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.
β’ When there is bad weather.
β’ Your vehicle is on an incline.
β’ Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.
β’ Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a
vehicle, and so on.
The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly
behind your vehicle.
The rear bumper or the sensors have been improperly
repaired or the rear bumper has been deformed.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
The system does not provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from your
vehicle, and it may alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.
For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper
corner area clean.
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels
or stickers of any kind.
