Parking aid in operation
Operating tip: Reduce the radio
volume while reversing - loud
audio sounds may ‘drown’ the
warning chimes.
With the starter switch turned to the second position, the
parking aid operates automatically whenever reverse gear is
selected and is switched off as soon as reverse is deselected.
When reverse is selected a short ‘bleep’ will sound to confirm
that the system is working (Note that a one second delay will
occur before the ‘bleep’ sounds).
While reversing:
NOTE: If a longer, higher pitched,
sound is emitted (for a duration
of 5 seconds) when reverse gear
is selected, this indicates a fault
with the system - contact your
dealer for assistance.
•
If no obstruction is sensed, the warning chime will remain
silent.
•
If an obstruction is located within the 5 feet (1.5 m) range
of the rear parking aid sensors or 2 feet (60 cm) of the
corner sensors, the warning commences chiming. As the
car moves closer to the obstruction, the chimes are
transmitted more rapidly.
•
Once the obstruction is within 14 inches (35 cm) of the
rear bumper, the chimes merge into a continuous warning
tone.
NOTE: In the case of cars
equipped with factory fitted
towing equipment, the parking
aid will not operate while a
caravan or trailer is hitched to the
car.
•
If the distance between the car and an obstruction to the
side of the car remains unchanged for over three seconds,
the parking aid will switch off.
