three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These singal words mean:

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.

Important Information

Before using the backup sensors, make sure you read and understand the operation and limitations
of the system as discussed throughout this manual.

• The backup sensors are designed to provide an audible sound when they detect large
stationary objects while the vehicle is moving in reverse at low speed. However, all obstacles
may not always be sensed.

• Even with backup sensors, the driver should always look for obstacles near the vehicle to
make sure the path is clear when driving in reverse and it is safe to park.

WARNING

Severe injury or death can occur to persons or objects not detected by the sensors.
Never rely solely on the backup sensors and always look behind you before backing up.
