To operate the system, the operation mode is
put in ON. When the reversing sensor system
is operated, the reversing sensor system oper-
ation indicator lamp (A) will turn on. To stop
the operation, press the “SONAR” switch; the
reversing sensor system operation indicator
lamp (A) is turned off.
NOTE
The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If
the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting
it even if they detected it initially.
CAUTION
The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand.
• The stickers or accessories have been
attached to the sensors or surroundings.
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• When there is an extremely change in the
outside temperature.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles,
motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring
rain, splashing water, snow traction device
(tyre chains), etc.).
• 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.
• Immediately after engine starting.
The reversing sensor system may not prop-
erly 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.
If the rear bumper has been exposed to an
impact, the corner or back sensors may fail
and prevent the system from functioning
properly. Have the vehicle inspected at an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
CAUTION
NOTE
The buzzer may sound lower than the normal
warning sound when the reversing sensor
system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys-
tem will return to normal operation after the
noise is no longer received.
