Parking and Back-Up Sensor System Description - Control/Function (2017 2018 2019 2020)
Parking and Back-Up Sensor System Operation
The sensors send out ultrasonic waves, receive waves reflected by an obstacle, determine the distance, and use the buzzer and/or multi-information display (MID) to tell the driver that an obstacle is near.
- The front corner and front center sensors work any time the shift to P position/mode, until the vehicle reaches about 8.7 mph (14 km/h). They do not come back on until slowing down to about 5.6 mph (9 km/h) or less.
- The rear corner and rear center sensors are only activated in shift to R position/mode.
- The parking and back-up sensor system is in active with its switch ON.
- The system check is performed each time the parking and back-up sensor switch is turned on with the vehicle in the ON mode.
- The sensors must be free of debris, snow, and ice to work correctly.
Sound Pattern of the Parking and Back-Up Sensor Beeper
Intermittent/continuous alarm sounding is performed by obstacle detection indication requests and alarm sounding requests from the parking sensor system, according to the distance and the display of the obstacle detection location. A magnified warning display is generated in case of a failure of the parking sensor system.
