The following objects may not be
recognised by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such asropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen- sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Parking Distance Warning(Reverse) system precautions
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not sound
consistently depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
The Parking Distance Warning (Reverse) system may malfunction
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
The sensor may not recognise objects less than 30 cm (11 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 with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
Do not spray the sensors or its sur- rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied

(Reverse/Forward) system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 inches) in front and 120 cm (47
inches) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors. It
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
