Vehicles with 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. The non-de-
tection areas (E) are within approximately 20 cm
(F) from the bumper.
NOTE
l
If the rear bumper has been exposed to an im-
pact, the corner or back sensors may fail and
prevent the system from functioning proper-
ly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
l
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 moun-
ted 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 4-70.
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,
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 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.

Starting and driving
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.
To operate
E00615700741
To operate the system, move the gearshift lever or
selector lever to the "R" position while the ignition
switch is in the "ON" position. When the reversing
sensor system is operated, the reversing sensor sys-
tem operation indication lamp (A) will turn on. To
stop the operation, push the "SONAR" switch; the
reversing sensor system operation indication lamp
(A) is turned off.
