1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It
will operate normally when the ice
melts.)
2. 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
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
4. Objects generating excessive
noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sen-
sor.
5. The weather conditions produce
heavy rain or water spray.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones present near the sensor.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
1. Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
2. The sensor is covered with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
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 sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than
4 in. (1 m) and narrower than 5.5
in. (14 cm) in diameter.

may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installa-
tion has been modified. Any non-
factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere
with the sensor performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects
less than 12 in. (30 cm) from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor-
rect distance. Use with caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a
soft cloth.

sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of 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,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving.
Be sure to inform any drivers in the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the system's
capabilities and limitations.
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 objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.
