Test sequence: 

  1. Erect an obstacle 2 m behind the vehicle or drive the vehicle up to a fixed obstacle at the same distance.
  2. Start engine and engage reverse gear and engage reverse gear.
    • When reverse gear is engaged a short chime must indicate that the ultrasonic backup assist is ready for operation.
  3. Follow the visual and acoustic warning course as per the graphic due to the vehicle getting closer to the obstacle.
    • When the collision zone of 30 cm is reached all the light emitting diode must be switched on and the warning signal goes over to a continuous signal.

IMPORTANT On model 169 only  an acoustic signal ensues, on model 171 only an optical warning signal ensues.
