Gee's I hate backing that van up. I try to park so I don't have to back out. (I just can't see) I can't imagine backing up your suv, princess. I'm just not a good backer-upper. lol
Yep, freaked me out when I drove it the first time and saw how far it was to that rear window. It has sensors all across the rear bumper to let me know when I'm close. I always back in to park...always. As the sensors see an object, it starts to beep. The closer I get, the faster the beeps. When it's a solid beep I stop and am usually about 6 inches from whatever I'm backing to. Plus, it has two mirrors on each side. One normal (big) and the other angles down so I can see the road and thus the parking stripes or whatever. Pretty much makes it a piece of cake. I am even quite good at parallel parking although it's hard to find a space that is big enough.
