Precautions for the Parking Distance Warning (Reverse) System

~1min read

  • The Parking Distance Warning (Reverse) system may sound inconsistently depending on the speed and shape of detected objects.
  • The rear parking distance warning (reverse) system may malfunction if the bumper height or sensor installation has been changed or damaged. Any non-genuine equipment or accessories may also affect sensor operation.
  • The sensors may not detect objects within 30 cm (11 in.) of the sensor, or may display an incorrect distance. Use caution.
  • If the sensor is frozen or covered with snow, mud, or water, it may not operate until the contamination is removed with a soft cloth.
  • Do not press, scratch, or strike the sensor with hard objects, as this may damage the sensor surface. Damage to the sensor may occur.
  • Do not spray the sensors or the surrounding areas directly with a high-pressure washer. The impact of high-pressure water may damage the sensors and prevent them from operating normally.
