Parking Aid System

Ultrasonic Sensor Parking Aid

The purpose of the parking aid is to assist the
driver in reversing! The sensors may not be
able to detect obstacles of certain type, e.g.
narrow posts or small objects no more than
a few inches wide, small objects close to the
ground, objects above the tailgate and some
objects with non-reflective 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
from close range.
STARTING & DRIVING
Rear Parking Aid
The ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper monitor the area
behind the vehicle to search for obstacles. If any obstacle
is detected, the system will calculate its distance from the
rear of the vehicle and communicates the message to the
driver by sounding warning chimes.
Parking Aid in Operation
When the start/stop switch is in the ON/READY position,
the rear parking aid is enabled automatically when reverse
is selected, it is switched off as soon as reverse is
disengaged. A short beep is given by the parking aid within
1 second after selecting reverse to indicate that the system
is operating normally.
The entertainment system screen will display a silhouette
image of the car showing the object distance values for the
sensor.
Note: If a longer, higher pitched sound is emitted for 3
seconds when reverse is selected this indicates a fault
in the system. In this case seek assistance from your
MG Authorised Repairer.
