2. CAUTIONS
Sensor Cannot Detect
- When the sensor is frozen (operate normally when it's thawed)
- When the sensor is covered with foreign materials such as snow or condensation
(if the foreign materials are removed, the sensor operates normally.)
Not defective but improperly working
- When the sensing portion is frozen (operates normally after thawed)
- When reversing on rough roads, gravel roads, hills, or grass.
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals (metal sounds or air braking noises from heavy
commercial vehicles).
- When there is heavy rainfall or water drops.
- When the sensor is covered with snow.
Certain obstacles that sensors cannot detect
- Thin and narrow objects, such as wires, ropes, or chains
- Cotton, sponge, clothes, snow that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Weak Sensing Scopes
- When the ambient temperature is too high or too low.
- When a 1 m or less long small object with a diagmeter of 100 mm or less is detected.

1. OVERVIEW
When the gear selector lever is shifted into R", the parking aid system is activated and three
sensors in the rear bumper detect the distance to any obstacle. The PAS detects the returning signals
reflected to the obstacles at regular intervals when the vehicle is parked to indicate the display and alarm
for the distance between the obstacles by phase so as to allow the driver easy parking by securing safe
distance.

3. OPERATING PROCESS
When PAS receives "R" signal, it starts to detect the obstacles behind vehicle after self diagnosis.
If the system detects the obstacle, the buzzer sounds according to the distance. If there is no obstacle, starts
to detect the obstacles after self diagnosis again.

2) Rear PAS Sensor

While reversing, if obstacles are within stage 1, the warning beep sounds with long intervals. If within
stage 2, the warning beep sounds with short intervals and if within stage 3, the warning beep sounds
continuously.
Sensor detection range

Within 20 cm from the ground

(Objects may not be detected in this range.)

Sensor operating sequence

The ultrasonic sensors transmit ultrasonic waves
and receive the reflected waves from an obstacle
to detect it in the following order: L C R.

4. OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS FOR SENSOR SELFDIAGNOSIS BUZZER SOUND

Buzzer interval during self diagnosis
Self diagnosis is performed once when the ignition is switched on (gear shift lever in "R" position). If the
system is defective (Fail) due to open sensor or communication problem, the information for the failed
sensor is displayed as buzzer sound.
If it is normal, the warning buzzer sounds for 60 ms.

Conditions to "FAIL" in sensor diagnosis

- Fail condition (However, no obstacle should be within 30 cm)
1. The signal wire is open
2. The power wire (+ and -)is open
Exception/error handling
1. Timeout processing time for buzzer interval after measuring distance/self diagnosis: 600 ms
- If timeout is reached, the PAS returns to undetected condition.
2. Process while re-inputting
- After timeout, the process is performed normally if the signal required for display is received
from beginning to end. (not detectable if the signal is received in the midst of process)
