Object detection
systems
Park Assist (PA)
The vehicle may have one of the
following two systems:
Rear Park Assist (RPA)
A
This system is able to detect and
indicate obstacles at the rear of the
vehicle when reversing.
The RPA consists of three sensors
(A) on the rear bumper, a control
unit and a speaker in the vehicle’s
interior.
Warning
The driver is always responsible
for taking care and attention while
manoeuvring the vehicle. The
PA is only an aid and is neither
intended to, nor able to take over
any responsibility.
The park sensors may not be
able to detect all objects under
every condition e.g. objects too
close to the vehicle, objects
above or below the sensors,
or objects with a surface that
absorbs ultrasonic waves.
Additionally, some ambient
conditions like ultrasonic
waves or heavy rain can cause
disruptive reflections from an
object’s surface. Such objects
may not be detected.
Always manoeuvre the vehicle
slowly to allow yourself sufficient
time to react. The warning tones
will sound only while the vehicle’s
speed is below 5 km/h.
Dual Park Assist (DPA)
This system is able to detect
obstacles in the front and the rear
of the vehicle when moving forward
and reversing.
The DPA consists of sensors
on the front and rear bumpers,
a control unit and a speaker
in the vehicle’s interior.
