sensor, the system warning symbol will
illuminate and remain on. The information
display will confirm the fault and indicate
whether the left or right side is affected.
Blocked sensor
WARNING
Prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and issuing a
warning, the number of missed
objects will increase.
CAUTION
The sensors may not detect vehicles
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
Note: Keep the rear bumper area
surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow.
If a sensor becomes blocked the system
performance may degrade. A blocked
sensor message may be displayed.
