The sensors are inside the brake lamp on
both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note:
Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note:
Blocked sensors may affect system
accuracy.
If something is blocking the sensors, a
