Parking distance se nsor
Park distance sensor ma kes rev erse
parking easier by measuring the distance
between the rear of the vehicle a nd an
obstacle through ultrasonic reflection a nd
warning you with an a coustic signal in the
passenger com partment.
The system record s the distance using four
sensors in the rear bumper.
When the ig nition is on, Parking distance
sensor switches on automatically when
rev erse g ear is enga ged. Its operational
rea diness is indicated by a brief acoustic
signa l.
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 Pa rk ing distance sensor is op erational.
This is of pa rticular im portance when in
the vicinity of pedestria ns.
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.
