Vehicles with a towbar
The detection areas are within approximately 60 cm (A) from
the corner sensors, 150 cm (B) from the back sensors, and 60
cm (C) or less from the ground surface, excluding the area
approximately 10 cm (D) from the ground surface. The nonde-
tection areas (E) are within approximately 20 cm (F) from the
bumper.
NOTE
● If the rear bumper has been exposed to an impact, the cor-
ner or back sensors may fail and prevent the system from
functioning properly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised Service Point.
● The sensors do not detect objects located in the area
directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an
object is lower than the mounted position of the corner or
back sensors, the sensors may not continue detecting it
even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detection areas, please
refer to "Changing the detection areas" on page 4-52.
CAUTION
!
● The reversing sensor system may not operate prop-
erly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered with ice,
snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other
sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle
engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain, splashing
water, tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the
vehicle is parked for a long period of time under a
blazing sun or in cold weather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with a
bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped by
hand, or stickers or accessories have been
attached.
● The reversing sensor system may not properly
detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.
