detection indication turns on around
the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic
sensors to detect obstructions
around the vehicle when the vehicle
is driven at low speeds, such as
during garage or parallel parking,
and notifies the driver of the
approximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding
obstruction using sound and an
obstruction detection indication.
