Page 10: Operation
Operation Before using the backup sensors, become familiar with the types of sounds in relation to the distances between the sensors and the obstacle by actually backing your vehicle into a garage or parking space. Also confirm the obstacle detecting range of each backup sensor.
Page 11 Check that the intermittent warning beeps become quicker as you bring the palm of your hand closer to the sensor. For the corner sensors: About 1.5 feet (45 cm) For the center sensors: About 3.3 feet (100 cm) Check that the intermittent warning beeps change to a continuous beep as you bring the palm of your hand closer to the sensor.
Page 12: Daily Inspection
Daily Inspection Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and apply the parking brake. Depress the brake pedal, and move the shift lever to the reverse position. Check that the audible signal sounds for about one second. • The sensors are normal if the audible signal sounds for about one second.
