Parking Aids

PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
CAUTION
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
l
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The sensors may not detect objects
l
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
l
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The parking aid does not detect
l
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move
towards the vehicle again.
If you use a high pressure spray to
l
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).
Parking aid sends tones via the audio
l
system fitted and approved by us. If
this is not working the parking aid
system will not work.

NOTE
On vehicles fitted with a tow bar, the
l
rear parking aid is deactivated
automatically when any trailer lamps
(or lighting boards) are connected to
the socket via a trailer tow module
we have approved.
Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice
l
and snow. Do not clean with sharp
objects.
The parking aid may emit false tones
l
if it detects a signal using the same
frequency as the sensors or if the
vehicle is fully laden.
The outer sensors may detect the side
l
walls of a garage. If the distance
between the outer sensor and the side
wall remains constant for three
seconds, the tone will switch off. As
you continue, the inner sensors will
detect rearward objects.
