There are 4 rear sensors in the rear bumper. The sensors are able to detect objects at a distance of 1.5 meters.

The smallest objects which can be detected are:

The rear sensors are active when the ignition is on in position II if there is no trailer and back-up (R) gear is selected. The sensors are deactivated automatically when the gear selector lever is moved from back-up gear (R) or a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle.
