operator.
The system can detect most objects within the
detection zone. However, there are some
instances where objects can go undetected.
Obstacle size, shape, relative location, and
composition are all factors determining if, when
and where an object is detected. The system
operates by transmitting a pulse of very low power
electromagnetic energy. Any energy that strikes an
object reflects a certain amount of this energy
back to the sensor. If the returned energy is of
sufficient magnitude, it is used to indicate object
presence and determine the object’s distance.
While the system can resolve multiple objects,
only the object closest to the vehicle is reported to
the display since it represents the nearest collision
hazard.
