WARNING
●When using steam to clean the vehicle , do not direct steam too close to the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction .
■ The system can be operated when
●The power switch is in ON .
●The SUBARU Parking Assist is on .
●The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph ( 10 km / h ).
●A shift position other than P is selected .
●Vehicles without the multimedia display or rear camera : The system will automatically turn on ( enabled ) and the SUBARU Parking Assist OFF indicator will turn off if the shift position is changed to R . The setting of SUBARU Parking Assist itself will not change .
■ Sensor detection information ●The sensor ’ s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle ’ s front and rear bumpers .
●Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may
affect the ability of a sensor to correctly detect an object .
●Objects may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor .
●There will be a short delay between object detection and display .
Even at low speeds , there is a possibility that the object will come within the sensor ’ s detection areas before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds .
●It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system .
●It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the buzzers of other systems .
●If the meter malfunctions , the buzzer may not sound .
■ Objects which the system may not be properly detected
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it . Pay particular attention to the following objects :
● Wires , fences , ropes , etc .
●Cotton , snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
● Sharply-angled objects ●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they
are wearing certain types of clothing .
■ Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects . Particular instances where this may occur are listed
below .
●There is dirt , snow , water drops or
ice on a sensor . ( Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem .)
●A sensor is frozen . ( Thawing the area will resolve this problem .) In especially cold weather , if a
sensor is frozen the sensor display may be displayed abnormally , or objects , such as a wall , may not
be detected .
●When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold .
