Working Sensors; Approximate Areas Where Obstacles Can Be Detected - MARUTI SUZUKI S-Cross Owner's Manual

Working sensors

The sensors that work depends on the
position of the gearshift lever as follows:
Gearshift lever N,
R
position 1st – 5th

Corner On Off
Approximate areas where obstacles can
be detected
EXAMPLE
64MS007
• Any obstacle within about 20 cm (8 in)
from the sensor or just below the sensor
is not detectable.
• The sensors can detect an obstacle up
to about 1.5 m (5 ft) from the rear of
vehicle.
WARNING
• Under the following conditions, the
parking sensor system may not
work normally because the sensors
cannot detect obstacles correctly.
– Sensors are covered with mud,
ice or other materials. (Such mate-
rials must be removed for normal
operation.)
– Sensors are wet from water
splashes or heavy rain.
– Sensors are covered by a hand,
sticker, accessory, etc.
– There is an accessory or other
object attached within the sen-
sor's sensing area.
– Items such as tow hooks, com-
mercially available corner poles,
radio antenna, etc. are installed
on the bumper.
– The height of the bumper is
changed due to alteration to the
suspension or other causes.
– The sensor areas are extremely
hot from direct sunlight or cold
due to freezing weather.
– The vehicle is on a rough surface,
slope, gravel road or grass field.
– The vehicle is at a steep angle.
– Sensors have intercepted ultra-
sonic noise from another vehi-
cle's horn, engine air braking
system (large vehicles), or park-
ing sensor.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
(Continued)
– Obstacles are too close to the
sensors.
– Sensors are at an angle to a
highly reflective object such as
glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not
reflected back from the obstacle.)
• Sensors may not be able to cor-
rectly detect the following types of
obstacles:
– Objects made of a thin material
like wire netting and ropes
– Square-shaped curbstones
other objects with sharp edges
– Tall objects with a large upper part
like a road sign
– Low-profile objects such as curb-
stones
– Sound-absorbing objects such as
cotton and snow
NOTE:
• Thin poles or obstacles lower than the
sensors may become undetectable as
the vehicle moves closer to them even if
they have been detected from longer
distances.
• The system may calculate the distance
to a road sign or similar obstacle to be
shorter than actual distance.
