REVERSING SENSOR (CORNER SENSOR AND BACK SENSOR)






  • Automatically active system by select reverse position

  • Depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with a towing bar, you can change sensors between the standard mode and the towing bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the system to exclude in the area in which the towing is mounted from the detection areas.
caution When the illuminated licence plate is installed, the sensors may not operate because of noise from the plate. Refer to FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION (1)


note The detection range of the sensor varies with temperature and humidity. Obstacles below the bumpers or curbstone not taller than the sensor position may be hard to be detected.

OPERATION


ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF REVERSING SENSOR SYSTEM





THE TOWING BAR MODE SWITCHING







  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  2. Move the selector lever to the "R" (reverse) position.
  3. Turn off the reversing sensor system by operating the sonar cancel switch.(reversing sensor OFF indicator lamp: ON)
  4. Press and hold the sonar cancel switch for approximately 5 seconds.
  5. The buzzer* sounds and the mode is switched between "TOWING BAR MODE" and "STANDARD MODE".
note *: Sounds twice when the mode is switched to "TOWING BAR MODE". Sounds once when the mode is switched to "STANDARD MODE".

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION



  1. When the ultrasonic noise is received, the bass toned buzzer sound continuously. When the ultrasonic noise stops, the normal operation will be resumed immediately.
  2. When the abnormality such as the open circuit of a sensor occurs, the sensor turns OFF and the high toned buzzer sounds for 5 seconds. When the normal signal is received, the normal state will be resumed.
  3. When an abnormality occurs in the system, the reversing sensor OFF indicator keeps flashing with 0.8-second interval until the system returns to the normal condition. However, if the system is turned OFF by using the switch, the indicator stops its flashing.
