One or more segments light up as the vehicle
approaches an obstacle, depending on the
vehicle's distance from the obstacle. In addi-
tion, warning tones are issued.
When the distance to the obstacle is sufficient,
you will hear an intermittent warning tone. The
shorter the distance to the obstacle, the
shorter the frequency of the intermittent warn-
ing tones becomes. When the minimum dis-
tance is reached, you hear a continuous warn-
ing tone.
