Those are your electronic monbacks.
When I was in the military, we had to carry someone with us in order to back up a vehicle. They would stand behind the truck, make strange arm movements and say
"Monback....monback.....monback.....monback......K AY!"
but now you can do it all electronically.
Isn't technology wonerful?

since we are on the subject...
Can those be taken off and cleaned or relplaced. They are out of whack on the wifes X and everytime you go into reverse BEEEEEP!!
You end up hitting the cut off button a rendering them useless. I like the fact of her having this safety feature on the X especially because we have kids. So I want them to work properly.

I have read that they are individually replacable...but I don't have that feature on mine. Do a search for reverse sensors and you should find good info.
Good Luck!

MRE stands for Meals Rejected by Ethiopia. I actually miss the Ham & MFer's in the C Rations. Have you tried the bean and rice burrito? Yuck!! I'm not sure if you're aware but they have taken the coffee out of half of the MRE's in favor of sugerless iced tea or apple cider mix. They have also drastically reduced the amount of salt you get too. It won't be long before it is gone all together. You might also say that MRE stands for Meals Reserved for EMERGENCIES.
