The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:
Side rear 3 ft (0.90 m)
Side center 5.2
ft (1.60 m)
The closer
you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals . A con
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away.
