tion has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed

ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the material is removed using a

detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
