Warning system precautions
• The Forward/Reverse Parking
Distance Warning system may not
sound consistently depending on
the speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
• The Forward/Reverse Parking
Distance Warning system may
malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified 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 (12 in.) from the
sensor, or it may sense an incorrect
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
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
