PARKING AID
*
The parking aid is not
infallible. It is for
guidance only! The sensors may
not be able to detect certain
types of obstruction, eg. narrow
posts or small objects no more
than a few inches wide, small
objects close to the ground,
objects above the level of the
boot and some objects with dark
non-reflective surfaces.
The parking aid system is designed to help the driver reverse
into parking places.
Care point: Keep the sensors free
from dirt and ice, either of which
will impair performance.
Four ultrasonic sensors, situated in the rear bumper, scan an
area behind the car searching for obstructions. If an
obstruction is detected, the sensors calculate its distance from
the rear of the car and communicate this information to the
driver by sounding warning chimes.
Care point: When washing the
car, avoid aiming high pressure
water jets directly at the sensors
from close range.
It is important to remember that the system is no more than
an AID to parking. It is not foolproof in operation, nor is it a
substitute for observation and personal judgement.
