8.38.1 Working Principle
• On engaging the gear in reverse, the RPAS system gets activated automatically
and the ‘REVERSE’ text appears in the infotainment screen.
• When the obstacle comes in the sensing zone, the system starts giving the
indication based on the distance of the obstacle. The closer the obstacle, more
bars on either side of the screen are illuminated and if the obstacle distance is
less than 50 cm from the vehicle rear bumper then the infotainment screen
displays a ‘STOP!’ symbol.
Operation of RPAS
1. Start the vehicle (IGN is turned ON)
2. Change the gear to reverse (engage the reverse gear). The ‘REVERSE’ text will
be displayed on the infotainment screen
3. Start moving the vehicle in the reverse direction
4. Display bars on either side of the screen illuminate according to obstacles
• If the obstacle is between 100 to 120 cm,
• If the obstacle is between 75 to 100 cm,
• If the obstacle is between 50 to 75 cm,
• If the obstacle is less than 50 cm, a ‘STOP!’ text will be displayed
5. The alert sound can be heard from the driver and co-driver side speaker.
