The system detects approaching vehicles at speeds from 6 km/h to 37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage is reduced when the sensors are partially, mostly or fully blocked. Reversing slowly helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness.

The system turns on when you start the engine and shift into reverse (R). The system turns off when you shift out of reverse (R).
