switch. The O/D OFF lamp in the instrument cluster will not be

illuminated.

speed; allows for first gear when vehicle reaches slower speeds.

obstacles near the rear bumper when R (Reverse) is selected and the

vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not

effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain

angular or moving objects.
