Starting and driving
CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system may not op-
erate properly under the following condi-
tions:
• The sensors or surroundings are cov-
ered 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.
4
• 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 ac-
cessories have been attached.
l
The reversing sensor system may not prop-
erly 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 kerb-
stones.

NOTE
l
The buzzer may sound lower than the normal
warning sound when the reversing sensor sys-
tem is receiving ultrasonic noise from other
sources, but this is not a malfunction. The buz-
zer will stop sounding and the system will re-
turn to normal operation after the noise is no
longer received.
Obstacle detection areas
E00615600173
The detection areas of the corner and back sensors
are limited to those shown in the illustration. More-
over, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin ob-
jects or objects near the rear bumper. Thus, make
sure to check the surroundings as you operate the
vehicle in a safe manner.
Corner and back sensor locations
There are two corner sensors (A) at the corners of
the rear bumper, and two back sensors (B) in the
centre of the rear bumper.
OG1E12E1
Reversing sensor system detection areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with
a towing bar, you can change the reversing sensor
system between the standard mode and the towing
bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the sys-
tem to exclude the area in which the towing bar is
mounted from the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
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 approximate-
ly 10 cm (D) from the ground surface.
