PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The sensors may not detect objects
that are close to the vehicle
(approximately 30 centimetres (12
inches) to the rear and above or below
the sensors).
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).
The parking aid may detect an
aftermarket tow bar. The parking aid
will only indicate the distance
between the bumper and the obstacle,
not the distance between the tow bar and
the obstacle.
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again.
Note:
The parking aid may emit false
tones if it detects a signal using the same
frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle
is fully laden.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp
objects.
USING THE PARKING AID
The parking aid is automatically activated
when you select reverse gear with the
ignition switched on.
You will hear an intermittent tone at a
distance of approximately 150
centimetres (59 inches) between the
obstacle and rear bumper and 50
centimetres (20 inches) to the side.
Decreasing the distance accelerates the
intermittent tone. A continuous tone will
start at a distance of less than 30
centimetres (12 inches) to the rear
bumper.
Note:
If a high pitch tone is heard for
three seconds, this indicates a
malfunction. The system will be disabled.
Have the system checked by a properly
trained technician.
