■

Sensor detection information

●

The following situations may occur

during use.

• The sensors may be able to only detect

objects near the front and rear bumpers.

• Depending on the shape of the object

and other factors, the detection distance

may shorten, or detection may be impos-

sible.

• There will be a short delay between

object detection and display. Even at low

speeds, there is a possibility that the

object will come within the sensor’s

detection areas before the display is

shown and the warning beep sounds.

• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due

to the volume of the audio system or air

flow noise of the air conditioning system.

• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if

buzzers for other systems are sounding.

■

Conditions under which the function

may not function correctly

Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-

rounding environment may affect the ability

of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-

ticular instances where this may occur are

listed below.

●

There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.

(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this

problem.)

●

A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will

resolve this problem.)

In especially cold weather, if a sensor is

frozen the sensor display may be dis-

played abnormally, or objects, such as a

wall, may not be detected.

●

A sensor is covered in any way.

●

When a sensor or the area around a sen-

sor is extremely hot or cold.

●

On an extremely bumpy road, on an

incline, on gravel, or on grass.

●

The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to

vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air

brakes of large vehicles, or other loud

noises producing ultrasonic waves.

●

There is another vehicle equipped with

parking assist sensors in the vicinity.

●

A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray

or heavy rain.

●

If a sensor is hit by a large amount of

water, such as when driving on a flooded

road.

●

If the vehicle is significantly tilted.

●

The vehicle is approaching a tall or

curved curb.

●

If objects draw too close to the sensor.

■

Objects which may not be properly

detected

The shape of the object may prevent the

sensor from detecting it. Pay particular

attention to the following objects:

●

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

●

Cotton, snow and other materials that

absorb sound waves

●

Sharply-angled objects

●

Low objects

●

Tall objects with upper sections project-

ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-

Buzzer operation and distance to
an obstacle

A buzzer sounds when the sensors are
operating.



The buzzer beeps faster as the vehi-
cle approaches an obstacle. When
the vehicle comes within the follow-
ing distance of the obstacle, the
buzzer sounds continuously:

• Corner sensors: Approximately 1.0 ft.

(30 cm)

• Rear center sensors: Approximately 1.1 ft.

(35 cm)



When 2 or more obstacles are
detected simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest
obstacle. If one or both come within
the above distances, the beep will
repeat a long tone, followed by fast
beeps.

Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.3 ft. (70 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)

The diagram shows the detection range of
the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot
