Outline

Warning

• The parking sensor system is a device to assist the driver in confirming safety. It is not a substitute for the driver and cannot guarantee 100 % safety. Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and drive while confirming the safety of the surrounding area visually.

― Ice, snow, or dirt is adhering to ultrasonic sensor

― Ultrasonic sensor is covered by foreign matter (such as bumper stickers)

― Shock is applied to bumper in accident and ultrasonic sensor installation angle is deviated

― Ultrasonic sensor is exposed to heavy rain or water-spray from road

― There is another device emitting ultrasonic waves (such as ultrasonic sensor of another vehicle) near ultrasonic sensor

― Ice, snow, or dirt is adhering to ultrasonic sensor

― Ultrasonic sensor is frozen

― Vehicle is in tilted position

― Vehicle is parked on steep incline or there is difference in height between lines

― Obstructions have approached too close to ultrasonic sensor

― Thin objects such as wire or rope

― Items which absorb ultrasonic waves easily, such as cotton or snow

― Angular-shaped objects

― Tall objects protruding at the top

― Short objects

― Objects located immediately below bumper, such as wheel stoppers

Function

Ultrasonic sensor malfunction detection function

• If the parking assist unit detects that there is a malfunction in the ultrasonic sensor circuit, the sound is activated in the following pattern and flashes the indicator light.

Volume adjustment function

• The volume of the parking sensor buzzer can be adjusted. Refer to the Workshop Manual for the adjustment procedure.

Parking sensor system activation switching function

• The parking sensor system can be switched between automatic/manual. Refer to the workshop manual for the switching procedure.

Operation

Operation condition

• If any one of the following conditions is met, the parking sensor system operates and the rear parking sensor buzzer activates for approx. 0.8 s and the indicator light illuminates.

With front ultrasonic sensor (when parking sensor system activation is only set to automatic)

― Ignition switch: ON (engine on)

― Vehicle speed: less than 10 km/h {6.2 mph}

― Parking sensor OFF switch: OFF (selector lever (ATX)/shift lever (MTX) is in except R position (ATX)/reverse gear (MTX))

With front ultrasonic sensor (when parking sensor system activation is only set to manual)

― Ignition switch: ON (engine on)

― Parking sensor OFF switch: OFF

• If the parking sensor system operates, the ultrasonic sensor starts to detect obstructions. For the ultrasonic sensor which is operating, refer to the following table.

×: Operates, —: Does not operate

Obstruction Detection Area

• Each ultrasonic sensor detects obstructions in the following areas.

Parking sensor buzzer sound pattern

Obstructions detected

• The changes in the amount of time the parking sensor buzzer activates are as follows:

Ultrasonic sensor	Zone	Distance from obstruction	Parking sensor buzzer sound pattern
Front/rear corner ultrasonic sensor, Rear side ultrasonic sensor	Short distance	Approx. 0.0—25 cm {0.0—9.8 in}
	Intermediate distance	Approx. 25—38 cm {9.9—14.0 in}
	Long distance	Approx. 38—55 cm {15—21 in}
Front ultrasonic sensor	Short distance	Approx. 0—35 cm {0—13 in}
	Intermediate distance	Approx. 35—45 cm {13—17 in}
	Long distance	Approx. 45—60 cm {17—24 in}
	Maximum long distance	Approx. 60—100 cm {24—39 in}
Rear ultrasonic sensor	Short distance	Approx. 0—35 cm {0—13 in}
	Intermediate distance	Approx. 35—45 cm {13—17 in}
	Long distance	Approx. 45—60 cm {17—24 in}
	Maximum long distance	Approx. 60—150 cm {24—59 in}
