There are 4 front sensors in the front bumper. The sensors detect objects within a distance of 0.8 meters.

The smallest objects which can be detected are:

The front sensors are active when the ignition is on in position II and gear R is selected, or when the ignition is on in position II and the car is driven forwards at speeds below 10 km/h. The sensors are automatically deactivated when the car is driven forwards at above 15 km/h. On cars with automatic transmissions, the sensors are deactivated if P is selected, irrespective of speed.
