ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle backup monitor introduces a reflector into the detection range of a sensor in predetermined manner during a test phase. The reflector can comprise, for example, the flap of the housing which encloses the sensor. The reflector is removed from the detection range of the sensor during its operational phase. The monitor unit is particularly applicable to ultrasonic sensors used to monitor a motor vehicle when it is backing up.
