ble - then the object is reported through:
▷Signal tones.▷Visual display.
General information
Ultrasound sensors in the bumpers measure
the distances from objects.

stacle and environmental conditions, is approx.
6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given:▷By the front sensors and the two rear cor‐
ner sensors at approx. 24 in/60 cm.▷By the rear middle sensors at approx.
5 ft/1.50 m.

spray the sensors for long periods and
maintain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.

react when needed - risk of accident.◀
