precautions
• The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system may not
sound consistently depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
• The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system may mal-
function if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been mod-
ified or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
• The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 30 cm (11 in.) from
the sensor, or it may sense an incor-
rect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is frozen or stained
with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains
are removed using a soft cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
• Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause
the device to not operate normally.
