Hello, I've had my SF for 3 years. Love the backup camera and routinely use it (especially for backing into my garage). Today while backing up, a strange warning I had never seen before appeared on the screen. There were colored dashed lines (yellow, red & green) all bunched together and a constant beeping before I even got close to the garage (there was also a flashing symbol that appeared on the screen in the center of the steering wheel but I can't remember what it was). I continued to backup into the garage and as I approached the boxes in the garage that usually cause beeping to begin, there was no beeping. I have searched everywhere (owner's manual, google, YouTube, etc.) but can't find any information about what these lines and constant beeping were indicating. Any idea where I might find an explanation?

Thank you.

On our 2014, when we had an issue with the sensors, it would beep as soon as we put it in reverse and all the lights for the sensors lit up in the screen on the dash. The green, yellow and red lights all stay on and it won't beep when you get close to something. It will still beep if it detects something in the approaching traffic sensors that are different than the rear parking sensors. We have that happen occasionally when it sees something in the landscaping or something and warns of approaching traffic. If it's a problem with the rear parking sensors, I read somewhere on here (I think) that the number of beeps corresponds to which sensor is having the issue. It could also something as simple as a sensor that had a foreign material on it.
