Driving
Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or
surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal
detection zone of the RSS system may create false beeps.
The RSS detects obstacles up to 6 ⁄
1
2
feet (2 meters) from the rear
bumper with a decreased coverage
area at the outer corners of the
bumper, (refer to the figures for
approximate zone coverage areas) .
As you move closer to the obstacle,
the rate of the tone increases. When
the obstacle is less than 10 inches
(
25.0 cm) away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the RSS detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 10 inches (25.0 cm) 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 RSS automatically turns on
when the gear selector is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition is on.
An RSS control allows the driver to
turn the RSS on and off. To turn the RSS off, the ignition must be on.
The system will remain off until either the RSS control is pressed again
or the ignition is turned off, then on again. An indicator light on the
control will illuminate when the system is turned off. If the indicator
light illuminates when the RSS is not turned off, it may indicate a failure
in the RSS.
Keep the RSS se nsor s (loca ted on the rear bu mpe r/fascia ) fr ee
fr om sn ow, ice and large accu mu lation s of dir t (do not cle an the
se nsor s wit h sha rp obje ct s) . If the se nsor s are cove red, it will
affe ct the accu racy of the RSS.
