objects:

●

Vehicles approaching from directly 

behind

●

Vehicles backing up in a parking space 

next to your vehicle

Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect 

due to obstructions

*

●

Vehicles moving away from your vehicle

approaching vehicle gets too close

*

: Depending on the conditions, detection 

of a vehicle and/or object may occur.

■

strong impact to the sensor or its sur-

rounding area

●

When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc., is
