Ultrasonic sensors measure parking spaces on
both sides of the vehicle.
When the system is active, the status of the
system and necessary instructions are dis-
played.
The Automatic Parking Assistant Professional
orientates itself on the following limits when
searching for a parking space:
▷ Bordering objects.
▷ Parking space lines.
▷ Curbs.
Parking operation
The system calculates the best possible option
for driving in or out of parking spaces with
parking lines and takes control of the following
functions while parking:
▷ Steering.
▷ Acceleration and braking.
▷ Changing gears.
The parking operation when pulling in is auto-
matic.
When driving out of parallel parking spaces,
the vehicle maneuvers automatically until it
reaches a position where it can be driven out
of the parking space without further steering
movements.
When driving out of perpendicular parking
spaces, the vehicle is maneuvered out of the
parking space to enable continued driving in
the desired direction.
