Principal use |
The four distance sensors use ultrasound to measure the distance to the object behind the car. They transmit wide angle ultrasound (120° horizontal and 60° vertical) and receive reflected acoustic signals. These signals are converted to digital signals that are conveyed to the control module for calculation of the distance to the closest object.
Type |
Each distance sensor contains a piezo-electric element with a communication unit. The piezo-electric element acts as both a speaker element and a microphone element. The sensor has a plastic housing and is connected with three wires. The sensor is located in a holder and fastened with two clips. The holder is fastened in the centre decor strip on the rear bumper. The distance sensors are identical and interchangeable.
