not operate properly when:
1.Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2.The 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 (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4.Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcy-
cle engines, or truck air brakes) are

The detecting range may decrease
when:
1.The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water. (The
sensing range will return to normal
when removed.)
2.Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1.Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2.Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3.Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.Back-up warning system pre-
cautions
The Back-up warning system maynot sound consistently depending
on the speed and shapes of the
objects detected.
The Back-up warning system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a soft
cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
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 systems
capabilities and limitations.

Self-diagnosis
If you don’t hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting the gear to

WARNING
Pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object’s
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.
