  • This system can only sense objects within the range and location of the sensors;

    It can not detect objects in other areas where sensors are not installed. Also, small or slim objects, such as poles or objects located between sensors may not be detected by the sensors.

    Always visually check behind the vehicle when backing up.

  • Be sure to inform any drivers of the vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the system regarding the systems capabilities and limitations.
