Opel ASTRA Owner's Manual page 179

When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Colour-Info-Display
and an acoustic signal is given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle
after a parking slot is proposed, the
system starts to search for another
suitable parking slot.
Park guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the
system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
six metres for perpendicular parking
slots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take
over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge.
Automatic steering is cancelled in this
event.
Display indication
The instructions on the display show:
● General hints and warning
messages.
● A hint when driving faster than
30 km/h during parking slot
searching mode.
● The demand to stop the vehicle,
when a parking slot is detected.
Driving and operating
● The direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre.
● The demand to shift into reverse
or first gear.
● The demand to accelerate or
brake.
● For some of the instructions a
progress bar is shown in the
Driver Information Centre.
● The successful completion of the
parking manoeuvre indicated by
a pop-up symbol and a chime.
● The cancelling of a parking
manoeuvre.
Display priorities
Advanced parking assist indication in
the Driver Information Centre can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a
higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the turn signal lever or 9 on the
steering wheel, advanced parking
assist instructions appear again and
the parking manoeuvre can be
continued.
