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 sensors work any time the shift position/mode is shifted out of P position/mode, until the vehicle reaches about 9 mph (15 km/h). They do not come back on until slowing down to about 5 mph (8 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 sensors must be free of debris, snow, and ice to work correctly.
