Saab Parking
Assistance
3
The parking aid system facilitates parking
and reversing. There are four sensors in
the rear bumper that detect objects up to
6 feet (1.8 metres) behind the car.
The system uses four sensors in the rear
bumper. These emit ultrasound signals that
bounce back to the sensors off any objects
behind the car. The system, however,
cannot always detect small or narrow
objects or objects that do not reflect ultra-
sound back towards the car, such as pipes,
or the corner of a house or rectangular post.
The system is activated automatically when
reverse is engaged or selected. When the
sensors detect an object within the moni-
tored area, the SID will display the text
"
PARK ASSIST
" and pulses of sound
(- - - - -) will be heard. The frequency of the
pulses increases as the car comes closer to
the object.
When the distance to the object is less
than 12 in. (30 cm), a continuous tone
will be heard.
WARNING
Responsibility
always
lies with the driver
when reversing.
• Saab Parking Assistance can facilitate
reversing at low speeds, such as when
reverse parking.
• Bear in mind that small and/or narrow
objects cannot always be detected by
the system.
