You will hear an intermittent tone at a
distance of approximately 150
centimetres (59 inches) between the
obstacle and rear bumper, approximately
80 centimetres (31 inches) between the
obstacle and front bumper and
approximately 50 centimetres (20 inches)
to the side. Decreasing the distance
accelerates the intermittent tone. A
continuous tone will start at a distance of
less than 30 centimetres (11 inches) to the
front and rear bumper.
You will hear an alternating tone from the
front and rear if obstacles are closer than
30 centimetres (11 inches) to the front and
rear bumpers.
Note: If a high pitch tone is heard for
three seconds and the light in the switch
is flashing, this indicates a malfunction.
The system will be disabled. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician.
