Park Assist Warning Messages
Display
The Park Assist warning screen will
only be displayed if "Sound + Display"
is selected from the MIA system.
Refer to "Functions of Settings Menu
on MIA" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls" for further
information. The Park Assist warning
screen is located on the instrument
cluster display.
It provides visual warnings to indicate
the distance between the rear bumper
and/or front bumper and the detected
obstacle.
The warning display will turn on
indicating the system status (ready or
off) when the vehicle is in R (Reverse)
or in D (Drive) and an obstacle has
been detected.
The detection area in front of the
vehicle is divided into two parts with
four arcs while the two detection areas
behind the car into five arcs.
The system will indicate a detected
obstacle by displaying arcs with fixed
or flashing light and a characteristic
sound according to the obstacle
distance. The colour indicates the
distance and the arc indicates the
position of the detected obstacle. The
green colour of the outer arc indicates
the maximum distance, the amber
colour of the middle arcs indicates
the medium distance, while the red
colour of the nearest arc indicates the
minimum distance.
As the vehicle moves closer to the
object the instrument cluster will
display the arc moving towards the
vehicle and the sound tone will change
from single to slow, to fast and to
continuous.
The vehicle is close to the obstacle
when the instrument cluster displays
one flashing red arc only, combined
with a continuous sound.
