How parking sensor works?

WHAT IT DOES

This feature can detect objects in front and back of a car while parking, providing audible alerts if one or more objects are detected.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND IT

Ultrasonic sensors in the front and back bumpers of the car can detect objects. In most cars, the front sensors can detect objects up to four feet and the back sensors can detect objects up to eight feet.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

When using this feature, listen for any audible warnings that there are objects in front or behind you as you are parking. The intervals between beeps become shorter the closer the car is to an object. Here are what the beeps mean:

• High-toned, continuous beeps indicate objects are detected near the front bumper.

• Low-toned beeps indicate objects are detected near the rear bumper.

TIPS FOR USING

• Don't fully rely on parking sensors to detect all objects in your parking path. They may not detect objects that are flat on the ground, below the bumper, too close to the car, or too far from it.

• Make sure the sensors are clear of any obstructions on the bumpers, such as snow or dirt.

• Stay aware of your surroundings while parking, including people or objects that may enter the parking path.
