Starting & Driving
Parking Aid System
Ultrasonic Sensor Parking Aid System
The purpose of the parking aid is to assist the
driver during parking! The sensors may not
be able to detect certain types of obstruction,
e.g. 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 nonreflective
surfaces.
Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow.
If deposits build up on the surface of the
sensors, their performance may be impaired.
When washing the car, avoid aiming high
pressure water jets directly at the sensors
from close range.
Rear Parking Aid
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.
Front Parking Aid
*
Four ultrasonic sensors, situated in the front bumper, scan
an area ahead of the car searching for obstructions. If an
obstruction is detected, the sensors calculate its distance
from the front of the car and communicate this information
to the driver by sounding warning chimes.
