Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversin g, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the
sensors’ detection areas.
●The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected. Thin posts or objects
lower than the sensor may not be
detected when approached, even if
they have been detected once.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.

pole, wireless antenna or fog lights.
●The front or rear bumper or a sensor
receives a strong impact.
