Before using the backup sensors, make sure you read and understand the operation and limitations of the system as discussed below and elsewhere in this manual.

• The backup sensors are designed to provide and audible sound when the

y detect large stationary objects while the vehicle is moving in reverse at low speed. However, the system may not detect all possible objects depending on their size, shape, or location.

How the Backup Sensors Work

Backup Sensors

The sensors are ready for operation when the shift lever is mo v ed to the re verse position with the backup sensor switch turned ON.

Operation of the sensors is dependent upon the ultrasonic wav es they emit. They calculate the distance between the sensor and a rear obstacle by measuring the time until the ultrasonic waves reach the sensor after being reflected by the obstacle.
