Reverse Parking Assis-
tance System (RPAS) (If
equipped)
Reverse parking assistance system is
provided to aid the driver while parking
the vehicle in reverse at a speed of less
than 5 kmph. While reversing, RPAS will
detect the obstacles at the rear side of the
vehicle within the sensing zone, which
cannot be viewed through the internal
rear view mirror and the outside rear view
mirrors. The RPAS will then alert the
driver by a beep sound about the location
of the detected obstacle and the distance
from the vehicle. The alert sound level will
vary proportional to the distance. Smaller
the distance shorter the interval between
the beeps.
RPAS Sensors
Four RPAS sensors are located at the
rear bumper to provide complete rear
view to the driver for hassle free parking.
Limitations of RPAS
• System may not sense obstacles like
wire mesh, handrail, small objects which
are below the bumper level
• System may not sense obstacles with
cotton or spongy surface, which will
absorb ultrasonic waves emitted by RPAS
• System performance is dependent on
the reflection angle of the obstacle
• System may alert with beep sound while
reversing the vehicle on grasslands and
bumpy roads, considering it to be an
obstacle
• System may give signal while the
vehicle moves from plain ground to a
slope terrain vice versa
• System may give signal by sensing the
ground when the bumper is tilted more
from the normal position or when the
vehicle is heavily overloaded
• System may sound an alarm during
h e a v y r a i n , s n o w a n d h e a v y w i n d
conditions
NOTICE
Always keep the sensors clean and
free from ice formation, dust, water
