							The system may not sense thin or
low objects, or sonic-absorptive
materials such as snow, cotton, or
sponge.
The system cannot sense objects
directly under the bumper.
If the system develops a problem,
you will see all indicators or the
indicators with a ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’
message on the multi-inf ormation
display. You will hear a beep at the
f irst time when the warning symbol
is displayed.If there is a problem in any of the
sensors, the appropriate sensor
indicator(s) will come on and stay on
in this warning symbol. In this case,
the remaining sensors can be
operated properly.
Very of ten, a sensor covered with
mud, ice, snow, etc. is the cause of
this display. Check the sensors f irst.

beeper does not stop, have the
system checked by your dealer. If you install a towbar on your
vehicle, this may cause the alarm
when the parking sensor system is
activated.
When you tow a trailer, do not turn
on the parking sensor system. The
trailer behind your vehicle will cause
the alarm to be activated.If there is a problem with the
parking sensor system and/or a
beeper sounds continuously, you
may turn of f the system temporarily
and stop a beeper by pressing the
parking sensor system button.
