Parking Sensors - Suzuki Jimny 2022 Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Parking Sensors

• The parking sensor system uses ultra-
sonic sensors to detect obstacles near
the rear bumper. If obstacles are sensed
while you are parking or moving the
vehicle slowly, the system warns you by
sounding a buzzer.
• The system emits an ultrasonic wave
and the relevant sensor detects the
return of the wave reflected by an obsta-
cle. The system measures the time
taken by the ultrasonic wave to reach the
obstacle and return from it, from which it
determines the obstacle's position.
• The parking sensor function can be used
when you turn the ignition switch to "ON"
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to "ON", the
gearshift lever is in the reverse position
(manual transmission models) or "R"
position (automatic transmission mod-
els). This function is helpful in the follow-
ing cases: pulling over to the curb;
parallel-parking the vehicle; steering the
vehicle into a garage; driving along an
alley; and moving slowly in a place with
obstacles.

WARNING
• The parking sensor warns you of
obstacles with buzzers. However,
you must still pay full attention
yourself while driving.
• The sensors can detect obstacles
only within a limited area and only
when the vehicle is moving within a
limited speed range. So, in tricky
areas, you must move the vehicle
slowly while checking around it
using your direct vision or rearview
mirrors. There is increased risk of
an accident if you control the vehi-
cle relying only on the parking sen-
sor.
NOTICE
Parking sensors are only for driver's
assistance.
NOTE:
When the gearshift lever is shifted to the
reverse position (manual transmission
models) or "R" position (automatic trans-
mission models), a buzzer will sound once.

NOTICE
• Avoid hitting the sensor areas or
directing the nozzle of a high-pres-
sure car washer onto the sensor
areas. Otherwise, the sensors may
be damaged.
• If the bumper hits a hard object, the
sensors on it may not work prop-
erly. If this occurs, have the sen-
sors inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop.
