2011 HONDA ODYSSEY sensor

When you press a f an control button,
the fan is taken out of AUTO mode. When you set the temperature to its
lower limit ( ) or its upper limit
( ), the system runs at f ull
cooling or heating only. It does not
regulate the interior temperature.In the Auto mode, the vehicle’s
interior temperature is
independently regulated f or the
driver, f ront passenger, and rear
passengers according to each
adjusted temperature. The system
also regulates each temperature
basedontheinformationof the
sunlight sensor and the sun’s
position which is updated
automatically by the navigation’s
global positioning system (GPS). For
example, if the driver’s side of the
vehicle is getting too much sun, the
system will adjust to a lower
temperature. When you press this button, the
indicator in the button comes on, and
the passenger’s side temperature
and the rear passenger compartment
is synchronized to the driver’s side
set temperature. Changing the
passenger’s side temperature or
pressing any control button f or the
rear passenger compartment makes
the indicator go off, and takes the
system out of SYNC mode.

Your vehicle has a parking sensor
system. The system lets you know
theapproximatedistancebetween
your vehicle and most obstacles
while you are parking. When the
system is on and your vehicle is
nearinganobstacle,youwillheara
beeping and see parking sensor
indicators on the multi-information
display or the instrument panel,
depending on models.To activate the system, push the
switch on the dashboard with the
ignition in the ON (II) position. The
indicator in the switch comes on
when the system is on. To turn the
system of f , push the switch again. All obstacles may not always be

youshouldlookforobstaclesnear
your vehicle to make sure it is safe to
park.
The system has two front corner
sensors, two rear corner sensors,
and two rear center sensors.
The rear center sensors work when
the shif t lever is in reverse (R), and
the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph
(8 km/h).
The corner sensors work only when
the shif t lever is in any position other
than P and the vehicle speed is less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).On Touring models and Canadian EX-L

If the system develops a problem,
you will see a ‘‘CHECK PARKING
SENSOR SYSTEM’’ message on the
multi-inf ormation display, and a
beeper sounds continuously.If the system develops a problem,
you will see all parking sensor
indicators on the instrument panel,
and a beeper sounds continuously.
If there is a problem with any of the
operational sensors, the indicators
f or these sensors will appear
constantly in red.
Very of ten, a sensor covered with
mud, ice, snow, etc. is the cause of
this display. Check the sensors f irst.
If the indicators stay on or the
beeper does not stop, have the
system checked by your dealer.On models with multi-inf ormation

Do not put any accessories on or
around the sensors.The system may not f unction
properly under these conditions:
The sensors are covered with
snow,ice,mud,etc.
When the vehicle is on a rough
road, on grass, or on a hill.
After the vehicle has been sitting
out in hot or cold weather. When the system is af f ected by
some electrical equipment or
devices generating an ultrasonic
wave.
When operating the vehicle in bad
weather.
Thesystemmaynotsensethinor
low objects, or sonic-absorptive
materials such as snow, cotton, or
sponge.
The system cannot sense objects
directly under the bumper.
The range of the corner sensors and
the rear center sensor are limited.
Each corner sensor is capable of
sensing an obstacle only when your
vehicleis24in(60cm)orcloser.
The rear center sensor senses an
obstacle that is behind your vehicle
43 in (1.1 m) or closer.
