Reversing sensor system detec-
tion areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing sensor system between the standard
mode and the towing bar mode. The towing
bar mode changes the system to exclude the
area in which the towing bar is mounted from
the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or
less from the ground surface, excluding the
area approximately 10 cm (D) from the
ground surface.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or
less from the ground surface, excluding the
area approximately 10 cm (D) from the
ground surface. The non-detection areas (E)
are within approximately 20 cm (F) from the
bumper.
NOTE
l
If the rear bumper has been exposed to an
impact, the corner or back sensors may fail
and prevent the system from functioning
properly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
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 6-73.
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 sur-
face).
•
The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
