Parking system (rear)
Rear acoustic park assist
Appli es to vehicles: w it h parking system (rear)
The rear acoustic park assist warns you of ob-
stacles or objects behind your car .
Description
The rear acoustic parking assist system deter-
mines the distance of the vehicle from an ob-
stacle using ultrasonic sensors. There are 4
sensors in the rear bumper.
The range at which the sensors start to meas-
ure is about:
To the side 2 ft (0.60
m)
Center rear
5.2
ft (1.60
m)
Activation
Acoustic parking assist is activated automati-
cally when reverse gear is engaged. A brief
tone confirms that the system is activated.
Warning tones
Distance warn ing is given by warning tones
which are generated by the rear signal genera-
tor. The volu me and the pitch of the warning
tones can be adjusted in the MMI*
¢ page 108.
Reversing
Distance warn ing when reversing starts when
an obstacle is detected in the range of the
parking assist system . As the distance de-
creases, the time interval between the audible
tones becomes shorter.
When the distance is less than 1 ft (0.30 m),
the tone becomes continuous. At this point
you should stop backing up.
Please note that low objects already signalled
by a warn ing can disappear from the system's
detection range and will not continue to be
signalled .
If
the distance to an obstacle remains the
same, the volume of the distance warn ing is
gradually reduced after about 4 seconds (this
does not apply in the continous tone range).
