Parking Distance Sensor 3
Parkpilot makes reverse pa rking easier by
measuring the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and an obstacle through
ultrasonic reflection and warning you with
an acoustic sig nal in the passenger
compartment.
The system re cord s the distance using four
sensors in the rear bumper.
To activate
When the ignition 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
signal is aud ible.
To dea ctiv ate
The system deactivates automatically
when reverse g ear is disengaged.
Fitti ng rear load racks 3
Rear load rack s, e. g. bicycle ra cks, fitted
near the sensors could disrupt the system.
Fault
In the ev ent of a s ys te m fault, a continuous
acoustic signal is sounded at a dista nce of
one metre from the obstacle. Have the
cause of the fault remedied. We
recommend that you consult your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
In order to avoid operational problems or
erroneous information, the sensors must be
undamag ed a nd free of soiling, snow and
ice.
Under certain circumstances, various
reflective surfaces on objects or clothing
as well as external noise sources may
cause the system to fail to d etect
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.
