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.

• 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.
|
