I was wondering how close does an object have to be in order for one amber bar to show up on the displays.

There must be an increment that goes from 1 amber bar to 2 amber to 3 and so on. Is there a set increment like 6" or something.

Then how close do you have to be to get into the red, either one red bar or 2. When the car beeps when you are at 2 red bars how close are you?

Since I dont have info like this in my manual I can't RTFM.

Wondering if any euro spec owners with PTS might know, or Sunman, Wiedermann?

Thanks!

(when the sensors are activated)

front sensors:
center - 100cm
sides - 60cm

rear sensors:
center - 120cm
sides - 80cm

minimal front and rear:

center - 20cm
sides - 15cm

 

thanks andy, ill RTFM right now!

 

thats perfect, thats basically what i wanted to know. thanks alot!

converted:

front sensors:
center - 39"
sides - 23.4"

rear sensors:
center - 46.8"
sides - 31.2"

minimal front and rear:

center - 7.8"
sides - 5.9"

 

Also to remember, after all the bars are at red with the sustained "beep" sound, there should be aprox still One foot (12 inches) betweent the car and the object.
