Parking Aid (Ultrasonic Parking Ranging
Warning Devices)
The purpose of the parking aid is to assist the
driver during reversing! 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.
It is important to remember that the system
is no more than an AID to parking. It is not
foolproof in operation, nor is it a substitute
for observation or personal judgement.
STARTING & DRIVING
Three ultrasonic sensors, situated in the rear bumper, scan
an area behind the car searching for obstructions. If an
obstruction is detected, the system calculates its distance
from the rear of the car and communicates this information
to the driver by sound warning chimes.
