Notifying the driver of obstacles while entering or exiting a parking space
Parking Sensor System reduces the driving burden when entering or exiting a parking space, when turning in a narrow alley, and in other such situations by detecting obstacles in front of and behind the user’s vehicle and urging the driver to show caution.
The system uses sonar sensors fitted to the front and rear of the vehicle to detect obstacles in the vicinity and notifies the driver using sounds and the navigation screen. Depending on the proximity of the obstacle, the system warns the driver by changing the sound and indicator color.
How it works
- If moving forward…
- If reversing…
STEP1
Sonar sensors fitted to the front of the vehicle detect an obstacle forward of the vehicle.
Detection using sonar sensors
STEP2
The driver is notified of the direction in which an obstacle is close using sounds and an indicator on the navigation screen.
*The indicator appears on the instrument panel in some vehicle models.
STEP1
Sonar sensors fitted to the rear of the vehicle detect an obstacle behind the vehicle.

The individual functions of the driver-assistive system have limited capabilities (e.g. recognition capability and control capability). Please do not overestimate the capabilities of any function and drive safely while paying constant attention to the vehicle’s surroundings. A system may not work or perform adequately depending on road conditions, weather conditions and vehicle conditions.
Function is not installed in some areas.
Depending on the model and timing of the market launch of the model, descriptions provided on this page and the actual functions available on customers’ vehicles may be different. For the functions available for each vehicle, please check the owners’ manual of the respective vehicle.
