—Detection range of sensors

The sensor detection range is limited
around the bumper. Be sure to confirm a
safe distance around your vehicle and
drive slowly.
A (front and rear corner sensors): About 50
cm (1.5 ft.)
B (back sensors): About 150 cm (4.5 ft.)
∗
: The maximum detection distance of the
sensor varies depending on the size of the
obstacle. The sensor can detect a large ob-
stacle, such as a wall, up to 150 cm (4.5 ft.)
away. However, the detection distance of a
thin obstacle, such as a pole, is only 100 cm
(3.0 ft.).
