Objects which the system may not be properly detected
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay particular attention
to the following objects:
Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●
●
Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
●
Sharply-angled objects
●
Low objects
●
Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
■
Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the ability of a
sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this may occur are listed
below.
●
There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve
this problem.)
●
A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display may be displayed
abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
When a sensor or the area around a sensor is
●
extremely hot or cold.
On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●
When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehi-
●
cles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which produce ultrasonic
waves are near the vehicle
●
A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
●
If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●
When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves (ex. skirts
with gathers or frills).
