Read and understand the limitations of the

parking sensor system as contained in this
section. The colours of the corner sensor indi-
cator and the distance guide lines in the front
(where fitted)/rear view indicate different dis-
tances to the object. Inclement weather or ul-
trasonic sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck's compressed-air brakes, horn
sound, or a pneumatic drill may affect the
function of the system; this may include re-
duced performance or a false activation.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sens-
ing zone may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false alarms.

In some conditions (i.e. after car wash, or rain)
water can accumulate around the sonar sen-
sors reducing performance or cause false ac-
tivation of the system. This water will drain
away automatically while driving, bringing
system performance back to normal.
