Rear Parking Assist - Aston Martin DB 9 2007 Manual

Rear Parking Assist

Warning
Rear parking assist does not replace need for total
vigilance and caution when parking or reversing.
Rear parking assist assists in detecting obstructions as the
vehicle is reversed towards them. The system is active when
reverse gear is selected. When the system is operating an
intermittent 'beep' signal will be heard. The 'beep' increases
in persistence as the vehicle reverses to an obstruction.
The 'beeps' start at approx. 5.5 ft. (1.7 m) from any
obstruction. The 'beep' becomes continuous at distances
less than 1 ft. (30 cm).
5.18
If reversing into a confined area, i.e. a home garage, the rear
parking assist outer sensors will detect the side walls 1 ft (30
cm) and, after 3 seconds, the 'Beep' sequence will stop. As
reversing continues the rear parking assist inner sensors will
detect the rear wall / obstruction and the 'Beep' sequence
will start again.
Press the parking assist
button to disable rear
parking assist. The rear
parking assist button will
illuminate when the
system is disabled.
When parking or reversing make full use of rearward
vision and all mirrors to be aware of persons or objects
in the vicinity of the vehicle. Take appropriate measures
to protect them from danger.
In heavy rain or similar adverse conditions, the rear
parking assist sensors may not always be able to
accurately measure distance to close objects. A fully
laden vehicle or irregular obstacles may also cause
inaccurate measurements.
The parking sensors
should be kept clear of
dirt, snow etc. to ensure
clean signals and
accurate distance
monitoring.
