PRECAUTIONS FOR ULTRASONIC SENSOR
1. Under the following conditions, the detection function may not function properly:
  Tech Tips
  - In very cold weather where a malfunction display appears, the sensor may not be able to detect obstacles.
  - If a sensor malfunction is detected, simple intelligent parking assist system DTCs will be stored.

  - If the malfunction display appears, visually check the sensor first. If the sensor is free of foreign matter but the malfunction display remains, the sensor may have a malfunction.
  1. A sensor, the front bumper or rear bumper is not installed in the correct position.
  2. A sensor is improperly located due to damage to the front bumper or rear bumper.
  3. A sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow (detection function returns to normal when the sensor is cleaned).
  4. A sensor is frozen (detection function returns to normal when the temperature of the sensor rises).
  5. A hand is blocking a sensor.
  6. The wind is strong.
  7. In severe weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
  8. The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to loading (the nose tilts up or down).
  9. A fender pole or a wireless antenna is installed to the vehicle.
  10. Any accessories are installed inside the sensor detection area.
  11. Another vehicle is excessively close to a sensor.
2. The detection range may be affected by the following conditions:
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Depending on the shape of a parked vehicle or an obstacle such as a wall or post near a parking space, the detection range may change even though the sensors are operating normally.
  1. A sensor, the front bumper or rear bumper is not installed in the correct position.
  2. A sensor is improperly located due to damage to the front bumper or rear bumper.
  3. A sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow.
  4. The vehicle is in an excessively hot or excessively cold area.
3. Under the following conditions, a detection error may occur:
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Depending on the shape of a parked vehicle or an obstacle such as a wall or post near a parking space, the detection range may change even though the sensors are operating normally.
  1. The vehicle is moving forward or backward towards high curbs or objects that are perpendicular to the ground.
  2. A sensor, the front bumper or rear bumper is not installed in the correct position.
  3. A sensor is improperly located due to damage to the front bumper or rear bumper.
  4. Driving on a bumpy road, an unpaved road or in tall grass.
  5. Ultrasonic waves are received from the horn or parking sonar system of another vehicle, a motorcycle engine, or the air brakes of a large vehicle.
  6. It is raining heavily or the sensor is splashed with water.
  7. The vehicle is tilted at a steep angle.
  8. The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or a wireless antenna mechanism.
  9. A sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow.
  10. There is a vehicle parked behind the desired parking space.
  11. There is a low ceiling or low pipes above the desired parking space.
  12. There are obstructions inside the desired parking space.
  13. There is a ramp or grating around the desired parking space.
4. Objects may not be detected by the sensors depending on its shape. The following are examples:
  1. Thin objects such as wires, fences and ropes.
  2. Materials such as snow that are likely to absorb ultrasonic waves.
  3. Objects with a sharp edge.
  4. Short objects.
  5. Objects that are tall and protrude toward the vehicle above the detection range of the sensors.
  6. Objects other than parked vehicles, such as posts or walls.
5. Other notices:
  1. The sensors cannot detect objects directly under the bumper. (A sensor may detect low objects and thin poles, and then lose track of them.)
  2. The sensors may not be able to detect obstacles that are too close to the sensor.
  3. The sensors may not be able to detect obstacles if the sensors have been dropped or subjected to a strong impact.
