Parking sensors

The parking sensors alert the driver to any
obstructions while manoeuvring at low speeds.
The system comprises four ultrasonic sensors
in the front bumper, four ultrasonic sensors in
the rear bumper and two sounders. Each sounder
has a different pitch to indicate whether the
obstruction is at the front or the rear of the
vehicle.
The front parking sensors are automatically
switched on when the engine is running and
drive is selected. The rear parking sensors are
switched on when reverse gear is selected. The
light around the parking sensors button will
illuminate amber to indicate that parking sensors
are active.
Front parking sensors can be activated when the
vehicle is in neutral and the system is manually
turned on.
The centre sensors on the front bumper have a
range of approximately 1 m (3 ft). The centre
sensors in the rear bumper have a range of
approximately 1.5 m (5 ft).
An intermittent tone is heard when an
obstruction is within range. As the vehicle moves
closer to an obstruction, the frequency of the
tone increases. When the distance between the
sensors and the obstruction is less than
approximately 40 cm (1 ft 6 in), the tone
becomes continuous.
WARNING: The parking sensors may
not detect moving objects such as
children and animals until they are
dangerously close. Always
manoeuvre with caution and always
use your mirrors, turn your head and
look behind you.
