Front And Rear Parking Assist (Option) - Aston Martin DB 9 2007 Manual

Front and Rear Parking Assist (Option)

It remains the driver's responsibility to detect obstacles
and estimate the car's distance from them. Some
overhanging objects, barriers, thin obstructions or
painted surfaces which could possibly cause damage to
the vehicle may not be detected by the system. Always
be vigilant when reversing.
The parking assist system provides an audible warning, when
driving forwards or rearwards, if objects are detected within
range of the vehicle.
If, for example, you are driving within a confined space
such as a home garage, the outer sensors will detect the
side walls and after 3 seconds will switch the tone off.
However, as movement continues, the inner sensors will
eventually detect the rear wall and will start the tone
again.
The rear sensors are not active when the gear selector is
in neutral, therefore care should be taken if moving the
vehicle as the tone will not sound.
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp objects.
For reliable operation, the sensors in the front and rear
bumpers should be kept free from ice, frost and grime.
When using a high pressure spray the sensors should only be
sprayed briefly and not from a distance of less than 8 inches
(200 mm). Do not clean the sensors with abrasive materials.
