NOTE
l
The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper.
If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting
it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de-
tection areas” on page 6-67.
CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
•
The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
•
The sensors are frozen.
•
The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles,
motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, tyre chains,
etc.).
•
The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe-
riod of time under a blazing sun or in cold
weather).
•
The vehicle tilts significantly.
•
The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface).
•
The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
CAUTION
•
The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand, or stickers or accessories
have been attached.
l
The reversing sensor system may not proper-
ly detect the following:
•
Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
•
Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
•
Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
•
Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
•
Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.
NOTE
l
The buzzer may sound lower than the nor-
mal warning sound when the reversing sen-
sor system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys-
tem will return to normal operation after the
noise is no longer received.
To operate
E00615700738
To operate the system, move the gearshift
lever or selector lever to the “R” position
while the ignition switch or the operation
mode is in ON. When the reversing sensor
system is operated, the reversing sensor sys-
tem operation indication lamp (A) will turn
on. To stop the operation, push the “SO-
NAR” switch; the reversing sensor system
operation indication lamp (A) is turned off.
NOTE
l
Only when the gearshift lever or selector
lever is in the “R” position, the reversing
sensor system can be operated or be stopped
by using the “SONAR” switch.
