Mitsubishi Corner Clearance Sensor

The Corner Clearance Sensor, an indispensable component for modern vehicles, plays a crucial role in ensuring safe driving and effective parking maneuvers. Typically positioned at the corners of the car, this sensor is part of the parking assist system, designed to detect obstacles that are out of direct line of sight.

Why You Need This Sensor

In today's congested urban environments, precision in parking is paramount. The Corner Clearance Sensor assists drivers by providing real-time feedback on the proximity of obstacles, reducing the risk of collisions and damage to the vehicle. It's particularly beneficial in tight parking spaces, enhancing driver confidence and vehicle safety.

How It Works

This sensor operates by emitting ultrasonic sound waves that bounce back upon hitting an object. The sensor then calculates the distance to the obstacle based on the time taken for the sound wave to return. This information is relayed to the driver through audio alerts or visual indicators on the dashboard, allowing for timely adjustments in maneuvering.

Consequences of a Broken Sensor

If the Corner Clearance Sensor malfunctions or fails, the immediate consequence is a lack of warning for impending obstacles. Drivers may experience difficulty in assessing blind spots, increasing the likelihood of minor accidents during parking. Over time, operating a vehicle without functional sensors can lead to costly repairs and diminished vehicle aesthetics due to scrapes and dents.
