396 Starting and driving
If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered causing inaccurate measure-
ment of obstacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
* Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
* The front (where fitted) and rear parking
sensors (sonar) detect the distance be-
tween the vehicle and the obstacle by
detecting the sound wave reflected from
the surface of the obstacle. When there is a
sound such as horn, or an ultrasonic
source (such as sonar of other vehicles)
around the vehicle, the sensor (sonar) may
not detect objects properly.
* In some conditions (for example, after a
car wash or a rain) water can accumulate
around the parking sensors (sonar), and
this may reduce performance of the sys-
tem or cause a false activation. This water
will drain away automatically while driving,
bringing the system performance back to
normal.
* Keep the parking sensors (located on the
bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. Do not clean
the sonar with sharp objects. If the sensors
are covered, the accuracy of the parking
sensor (sonar) function will be diminished.
SYSTEM OPERATION
MEVT33A1-713D648A-4F26-4D0B-95E9-384520DF4D64
The system informs with a visual and audible alert
of:
* front obstacles when the shift lever is in the
"D" (Drive) position (where fitted)
* front (where fitted) and rear obstacles when
the shift lever is in the "R" (Reverse) position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above 10
km/h (6 MPH). It is reactivated at lower speeds.
The tone will stop when the obstacle get away
from the vehicle.
When the object is detected, the indicator (green)
appears and blinks and the tone sounds intermit-
tently. When the vehicle moves closer to the object,
the colour of the indicator turns yellow and the
rate of the blinking increases. When the vehicle is
very close to the object, the indicator stops
blinking and turns red, and the tone sounds
continuously.
MWAF0833X
Example
When the vehicle moves closer to an obstacle, the
parking sensor indicator (detected area) appears
in the vehicle information display.
MWAF0834X
Example
The parking sensor indicator also appears on the
camera view of the centre display (where fitted).
