Fitting Rear Load Racks - Vauxhall Corsa & Combo Owner's Manual

Parking Distance Sens or
Parkpilot mak es rev erse pa rking easier by
measuring the distance between the rear
of the v ehicle and an obstacle through
ultrasonic reflection and warning you with
an acoustic sig nal in the passenger
compartment.
The system record s the distance using four
sensors in the rear bumper.
To act ivat e
When the ig nition is on, the Parking
Dista nce Sensor switches on automatically
when reverse gea r is engaged. Its
opera tional readiness is indicated by a
brief acoustic signal.
If the vehicle slowly gets close to an
obstacle w hile rev ersing, an intermittent
acoustic signal is audible in the passenger
compartment when the vehicle tail is less
than one m etre from the obstacle. The
interval between the signals becomes
shorter as the distance is reduced. If the
distance is less than 30 c m, a continuous
signa l is aud ible.
3
Under certain circumstances, v arious
reflective surfaces on objects or clothing
as well as ex ternal noise sources may
cause the system to fail to d etec t
obstacles in the rear. For this reason,
care must be taken when reversing even
if the Pa rk ing Distance Sensor is
opera tional. This is of particular
importance when in the vicinity of
pedestrians.
To dea ctiv ate
The system d eactiva tes autom atically
when rev erse g ear is disengaged.
Fitti ng rear load racks 3
Rear load rack s, e. g. bicy cle ra cks, fitted
nea r the sensors could disrupt the system .
Fault
In the ev ent of a system fault, a continuous
acoustic signal is sounded at a dista nce of
one metre from the obstacle. Hav e the
cause of the fault remedied . We
recommend that y ou consult y our Vauxhall
Authorised Repa irer.
In order to avoid operationa l problems or
erroneous information, the sensors m ust be
undamag ed a nd free of soiling, snow and
ice.
