Parking sensors (Front/Rear) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-149
If your vehicle is equipped with a towing
hitch and part of the towing hitch is close to
the center sensors (e. g. European type towing
hitch), the center sensor may detect the tow-
ing hitch and the alarm beeps may sound
though there is no obstacle behind the vehi-
cle. To avoid this detection, the parking sen-
sors can be switched to the towing hitch
mode.
The detection areas are within approximately
24 inches (60 cm) (A) from the front and cor-
ner sensors, and 49 inches (125 cm) (B) from
the back sensors. The system will not detect
the areas (C), within approximately 8 inches
(20 cm) (D) from the rear bumper.
To switch to the towing hitch mode and return
to the normal mode, refer to “Changing the
detection mode” on page 5-150.

“SONAR” switch. The operation indicator
light will go off.
To turn back on the parking sensors, press the
“SONAR” switch again.

 The ultrasonic sensors do not detect objects
in areas directly below or very close to the
bumpers. If the height of an object is lower
than the sensors, the sensors may not con-
tinue detecting it while the vehicle is
approaching the object, even if the sensors
have initially detected it.
