When nearing an object, the position is corre-
spondingly indicated by an interval tone. Thus,
an object detected to the left rear of the vehicle
will be indicated by a signal tone from the left
rear speaker, etc.
The shorter the distance to the object
becomes, the shorter the intervals become.
If the distance to the nearest object falls to
below roughly 1 ft/30 cm, then a continuous
tone sounds.
If objects are present both in front of and behind
the vehicle, then an alternating, continuous
tone sounds.
An intermittent tone is interrupted after approx.
3 seconds:

when the vehicle remains stationary in front
of an object that has only been detected by
one of the corner sensors

when driving parallel to a wall

The signal tone is switched off:

when the vehicle is more than approx.
4.0 in/10 cm away from an object

when the selector lever is in the P position

Volume
