OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION • Under the following conditions, the parking sensor system may not work normally because the sensors cannot detect obstacles correctly. - Sensors are covered with mud, ice or other materials. (Such materials must be removed for normal operation.) - Sensors are wet from water splashes or heavy rain. - Sensors are covered by a hand, sticker, accessory, etc. - There is an accessory or other object attached within the sensor's sensing area. - Items such as tow hooks, a backlit license plate, commercially available corner poles, radio antenna, etc. are installed on the bumper. - The height of the bumper is changed due to alteration to the suspension or other causes. - The sensor areas are extremely hot from direct sunlight or cold due to freezing weather. - The vehicle is on a rough surface, slope, gravel road or grass field. - The vehicle is at a steep angle. (Continued) CAUTION (Continued) - Sensors have intercepted ultrasonic noise from another vehicle's horn, engine, air braking system (large vehicles), or parking sensor. - Obstacles are too close to the sensors. - Sensors are at an angle to a highly reflective object such as glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not reflected back from the obstacle.) • Sensors may not be able to correctly detect the following types of obstacles: - Objects made of a thin material like wire netting and ropes - Square-shaped curbstones or other objects with sharp edges - Tall objects with a large upper part like a road sign - Low-profile objects such as curbstones - Sound-absorbing objects such as cotton and snow NOTE: • Thin poles or obstacles lower than the sensors may become undetectable as the vehicle moves closer to them even if they have been detected from longer distances. • The system may calculate the distance to a road sign or similar obstacle to be shorter than the actual distance.
