In conditions with limited visibility, back up sensors can save the day. Investing in quality sensors will add an extra degree of safety for you and your family. Obstacles that are low to the ground and outside your scope of view pose a risk that is reduced by installing back up sensors to your vehicle

Attempting to park in tight spots can be intimidating when guessing the distance between your vehicles and others. Fortunately, sensors sound an audible warning as you approach in varying degrees, so you have a clearer picture of your surroundings. Plus, you’ll have the advantage of looking at blind spots instead of watching a dashboard camera.

Back up sensors are made in a variety of styles, features, and functions. Here is a sample of some upgrades that can be made for most vehicles.

A bargain at under $15, with minor installation required. Included are four sensors and the compatible wires necessary to connect your monitor. Ideal for parking challenges, installing parking sensors will have you covered. A favorite for bargain buyers.

Three detection zones give the following warnings:

• Slow beep within 6.5 – 3.5 feet, flashing GREEN LED indicator.
• Medium beep within 3.5 – 1.3 feet, flashing YELLOW LED indicator.
• Steady tone within 1.3 feet, flashing RED LED indicator ranges are approximate and will vary depending on installation, weather conditions, and object size and shape.

The front sensor system has a reduced range and uses active learning to detect only obstacles which are getting closer to the vehicle, eliminating false warnings.
