least 10 seconds before you try again.  
Warning: The vehicle exhaust system can become very  
hot. To prevent injury make sure you only move your foot in  
the detection range of the sensors .  
Caution: Do not touch the bumper when you move your  
foot to operate the system. If you do, you can cause damage  
the bumper.
