OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
76MH1-74E
NOTE:
• Thin poles or obstacles lower than the
sensors may become undetectable as
the vehicle moves closer to them even if
they have been detected from longer
distances.
• The system may calculate the distance
to a road sign or similar obstacle to be
shorter than the actual distance.
Obstacle indication by parking sensor
Upon detecting an obstacle, the parking
sensor causes an interior buzzer to sound.
• A buzzer located behind the rear seat
sounds when a sensor at the rear
detects an obstacle.
• Warnings when obstacles such as wall
are detected by sensors
Warning and indicator messages
If there is a problem or warning regarding
the parking sensor system, a buzzer
informs it. Follow its instruction.
• The buzzer sounds intermittently. The
indicated sensor is contaminated. Wipe
it clean with a soft cloth. If the buzzer
does not stop after wiping, there may be
problem with the parking sensor system.
Have your vehicle inspected by a Maruti
Suzuki authorised workshop.
WARNING
Under the following conditions, the
parking sensor system may not work
normally because the sensors cannot
detect obstacles correctly.
– Sensors are covered with mud,
ice or other materials. (Such
materials must be removed for
normal operation.)
– Sensors are wet from water
splashes or heavy rain.
– Sensors are covered by a hand,
sticker, accessory, etc.
– There is an accessory or other
object attached within the sen-
sor’s sensing area.
– Items such as tow hooks, com-
mercially available corner poles,
radio antenna, etc. are installed
on the bumper.
– The height of the bumper is
changed due to alteration to the
suspension or other causes.
– The sensor areas are extremely
hot from direct sunlight or cold
due to freezing weather.
– The vehicle is on a rough sur-
face, slope, gravel road or grass
field.
– The vehicle is at a steep angle.

WARNING
(Continued)
– Sensors have intercepted ultra-
sonic noise from another vehi-
cle’s horn, engine, air braking
system (large vehicles), or park-
ing sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the
sensors.
– Sensors are at an angle to a
highly reflective object such as
glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not
reflected back from the obstacle.)
• Sensors may not be able to cor-
rectly detect the following types of
obstacles:
– Objects made of a thin material
such as wire netting and ropes
– Square-shaped curbstones or
other objects with sharp edges
– Tall objects with a large upper
part such as a road sign
– Low-profile objects such as curb-
stones
– Sound-absorbing objects such
as cotton and snow
