WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the RAB
system could result in serious injury or
death.
- The RAB system is a supplemental aid
to the driver. It is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures. Always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you willmove
before and while backing up. Never
rely solely on the RAB system. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
- There is a limitation to theRABsystem
capability. The RAB system is not effective
in all situations.
The RAB system can assist the driver when
the vehicle is backing up and approaching
objects directly behind the vehicle.
The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the parking sensors
located on the rear bumper.
NOTE:
You can temporarily cancel the sonar
function in the vehicle, but the RAB system
will continue to operate. For additional
