For information on how to change the detection areas, please
refer to “Changing the detection areas” on page4-81.
NOTE
●
The buzzer may sound lower than the normal warning
sound when the reversing sensor system is receiving ultra-
sonic noise from other sources, but this is not a malfunc-
tion. The buzzer will stop sounding and the system will
return to normal operation after the noise is no longer
received.
To operate
E00615700220
To operate the system, move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position (with M/T) or the selector lever to the “R”
(REVERSE) position (with A/T or CVT) while the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position. To stop the operation, push the
“SONAR” switch.

● The reversing sensor system may not operate prop-
erly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered with ice,
snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other
sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle

• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the
vehicle is parked for a long period of time under a
blazing sun or in cold weather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with a
bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped by
hand, or stickers or accessories have been
attached.

The reversing sensor system may not properly
detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.
