Collision Avoidance and Parking Assist Systems: Description and Operation

Parking Sensor System Description (If Equipped)

- The parking sensor system consists of the parking sensor system control module, combination meter (information display), parking sensors, parking sensor rear buzzer, parking sensor OFF switch, and back up light switch (M/T model) or shift switch (CVT model).
- If the parking sensors located on the rear bumper detect an obstacle, the parking sensor system control module causes a symbol representing the direction of and distance to the obstacle to be indicated on the information display, in addition to causing the parking sensor rear buzzer to sound.
- The parking sensor system works when the parking sensor OFF switch is in the released (ON) position and the gear is in the "R" range.
- The parking sensor control module communicates with the combination meter via the LIN communication system. (For LIN communication, refer to Communication System Description Communication System Description.)
