Warning
•  The parking sensor is a device to assist the driver in confirming safety. It is not a substitute for the driver and cannot guarantee 100% safety. Do not rely completely on the parking sensor and drive slowly confirming the safety of the surrounding area visually.
•  The following circumstances may obstruct the ultrasonic waves resulting in an accident:
―  Ice, snow, or dirt is adhering to the ultrasonic sensor
―  The ultrasonic sensor is blocked with foreign material (such as bumper stickers)
―  A shock is applied to the bumper in an accident and the ultrasonic sensor installation angle is deviated
―  The ultrasonic sensor is exposed to heavy rain or water-spray from the road
―  There is another device emitting ultrasonic waves (such as a parking sensor of another vehicle) near the ultrasonic sensor
•  The parking sensor may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
―  Ice, snow, or dirt is adhering to the ultrasonic sensor surface
―  The sensor is frozen
―  The vehicle is in a tilted position
―  The vehicle is parked on a steep incline or there is a difference in height between lines
―  Obstructions have approached too close to the ultrasonic sensor
•  The parking sensor may not detect the following items:
―  Thin objects such as wire or rope
―  Items which absorb ultrasonic waves easily, such as cotton or snow
―  Angular-shaped objects
―  Tall objects with protruding at the top
―  Short objects
―  Objects located immediately below the bumper, such as wheel stoppers
•  The warning alert may activate while driving near parked vehicles/guardrails/walls on a narrow road, or while driving on a slope, gravel road, or grass field. This is a normal effect caused by the system's response to ultrasonic waves, and does not indicate a malfunction.

No.

Troubleshooting item

Description

1
•  Buzzer does not sound after parking sensor switch is on and R position.
2
•  Malfunction detection sound activates (5 times consecutively) after parking sensor switch is turned on.
3
•  Buzzer does not sound.
•  Detection sound from parking sensor buzzer is weak.
4
•  Does not detect even though obstruction is within the detection area with the detections conditions satisfied.
5
•  Parking sensor detects obstruction while in position other than R position and at a speed other than 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or more.
