If the vehicle approaches a n ob stacle to
the front or rear, a series of signals can be
heard in the vehicle interior. The interval
between the signals becomes shorter a s
the d istance is reduced. If the dista nce is
less than 30 cm , the signal will b e
continuous.
Und er certain circum stances, various
reflective surfaces on objects or clothing
as w ell as external noise sourc es may
cause the system to fail to detect
ob stacles. For this reason, care must be
ta ken when reversing even if the front
and rear p arking distanc e sensors are
op erational. This is of particular
im porta nce when in the vicinity of
pedestrians.
