Parking distance warning
system*
Introduction
The parking distance warning system assists
the driver when parking. When the vehicle
approaches an obstacle, forwards or back-
wards, an intermittent audible warning will be
heard, higher or lower depending on the dis-
tance. The shorter the distance, the shorter
the intervals between tones. If the vehicle is
too close to the obstacle, the audible warning
becomes constant.
If you continue to approach an obstacle
when the sound is continuous, this means the
system can no longer measure the distance.
The sensor system on the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound. Using the ultrasound
signal (transmission, reflection from the ob-
stacle and reception), this system continu-
ously calculates the distance between the
bumper and the obstacle.
