within the range and location of
the sensors; It can not detect
objects in other areas where sen-
sors are not installed. Also, small
or slim objects, such as poles or
objects located between sensors
may not be detected by the sen-
sors. Always visually check behind
the vehicle when backing up.
• Be sure to inform any drivers of the vehicle that may be unfamiliar
with the system regarding the sys-
tems capabilities and limitations.
Non-operational conditions of
parking distance warning
parking distance warning may
not operate when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when the ice
melts.)
2. Sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
4. Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sen-
sor.
5. The weather conditions produce heavy rain or water spray.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
1. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:

installation has been modified.
Any non-factory installed equip-
ment or accessories may also
interfere with the sensor perform-
ance.

by the sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.
