hanging or misaligned. Ensure the spare wheel and wheel
cover are intact and rigidly fitted

• Any sort of paint or any adhesive on the sensor faces will not
guarantee the proper functioning of the system
• Applying pressure on the sensor face may deteriorate
system performance, so care should be taken while
replacing sensors. In the event, the sensors are found
damaged don't attempt to replace them by yourself, bring
them to the notice of your dealer
• Bumper covered with guards and other accessories may not
allow sensors to function properly
• Not all obstacles are detected from 120 cm, for instance, a
person is detected from 75 cm because of weak reflection
or absorption of the waves of clothes
• The distance indication may move up and down due to
different sizes of obstacles at different positions
• Though the obstacle is in the sensing zone, the obstacle may
not be detected in certain cases if the ultrasonic waves are
not reflected back to the sensor
• While braking/decelerating, energy is transferred from
wheels to battery
For auto stop to happen the following major
conditions are to be met
