Important Information Before using the backup sensors, make sure you read and understand the operation and limitations of the system as discussed throughout this manual. The backup sensors are designed to provide an audible sound when they detect large stationary objects while the vehicle is moving in reverse at low speed. However, the system may not detect all objects depending on their size, shape, and location. Even with the backup sensors, the driver is still responsible for making sure

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 rear bumper and an obstacle by measuring the time the ultrasonic waves take to reach the sensor after being reflected by an obstacle.

How the Backup Sensors Work The sensors detect the closest rear obstacle. When towing a trailer, the audible signal may keep sounding if the shift lever is moved to the reverse position. When this occurs, turn the backup sensor switch OFF. 4622030M In this example, the corner sensor detects the side wall. 4622050M The sensors may not detect the rear bumper of tall vehicles. 4622040M 8 © 2004 American Honda Motor Co., Inc. - All Rights Reserved.
