Rear Parking Assist System Non-Operating Conditions
The rear parking assist system may not operate properly when:
1. Moisture freezes on the sensor. (It will operate normally when the moisture is gone.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign substances 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 truck air brakes) are within the sensor range.
5. Heavy rain or water spray.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within the sensor range.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Towing a trailer.
The detection range may decrease when:
1. The sensor is contaminated with foreign substances such as snow or water. (The sensing range will return to normal when the substances are removed.)
2. The outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be detected by the sensor:
1. Sharp or thin objects such as ropes, chains, or small poles.
2. Objects that can absorb the sensor frequency, such as clothing, sponge material, or snow.
3. Undetectable objects less than 1 m (40 in.) in height and less than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.
