How the Backup Sensors Work

Backup Sensors

The sensors are ready for operation when the backup sensor switch is turned ON, and the shift lever is moved
to the reverse position.

The sensors operate by emitting ultrasonic waves. They calculate the distance between the sensor and an
obstacle by measuring the time the ultrasonic waves take to reach the sensor after being reflected by an
obstacle.
