Rear Parking Assist System Non-Operating Conditions

~1min read

The rear parking assist system may not operate properly when:

1. Moisture has frozen on the sensor. (It will operate normally when the moisture has melted.)

2. The sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or water, or the sensor cover is blocked. (It will operate normally when the material is removed or the sensor is no longer blocked.)

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (dirt roads, gravel, bumps, slopes).

4. Objects producing excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle engines or air brakes of trucks) are within the sensor range.

5. Heavy rain or water spray.

6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within the sensor range.

7. Towing a trailer.

The detection range may decrease when:

1. The sensor is contaminated with foreign material, such as snow or water. (The detection range will return to normal when removed.)

2. The outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.

The following objects may not be detected by the sensors:

1. Sharp or thin objects such as ropes, chains, or small poles.

2. Objects that tend to absorb the sensor frequency, such as clothing, spongy materials, or snow.

3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) high and 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.
