WARNING
Notes when washing the vehicle
■
Do not apply intensive bursts of water
or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
When using a high pressure
●
washer to wash the vehicle, do not
spray the sensors directly, as doing
so may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.
When using steam to clean the
●
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunction.
The system can be operated when
■
The power switch is in ON.
●
Parking assist-sensor function is on.
●
The vehicle speed is less than about
●
10 km/h (6 mph).
The shift lever is in other than P.

display
A sensor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow,
dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the
system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at
low temperatures, a warning message
may be displayed or the sensor may not
be able to detect an object. Once the ice
melts, the system will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed even
if the sensor is clean, there may be a
sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by a SUZUKI dealer or a qual-
ified workshop.

Water may be continuously flowing over
the sensor surface, such as in a heavy
rain. When the system determines that it
is normal, the system will return to nor-
mal.
Sensor detection information
■
●
The sensor's detection areas are lim-
ited to the areas around the vehicle's
front and rear bumpers.
The following situations may occur
●
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object
and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may
be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static
objects draw too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between
static object detection and display
(warning buzzer sounds). Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within 25 cm (9.8 in.)
before the display is shown and the
warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer
due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning
system.
• It may be difficult to hear the sound of
this system due to the buzzers of
other systems.
Conditions under which the func-
■
tion may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect
objects. Particular instances where this
