Driving
The parking assist
system defaults to OFF
when the ignition is set
to ON. The system
comes ON when
reverse gear is
selected, or if the
parking assist button
(A) is pressed at speeds
below 9 mph.
The system will set to
OFF when the vehicle
moves forwards above
9 mph. The parking
assist button LED will come ON when the system is set to ON. The
LED will flash if a fault is detected in the system.
If an obstacle is detected at the front or rear of the vehicle, a series of
beeps will be heard from the front or rear speaker respectively, which
increases in rate as the vehicle nears the obstacle.
The beep becomes a continuous tone when an obstacle is detected
at or within approximately 12 inches from the rear or 10 inches from
the front of the vehicle.
If the system has a fault a single three second tone will be heard (only
once per ignition cycle) and the parking assist button LED will blink
when reverse gear is selected or the ignition is set to ON. The system
is automatically disabled when a fault is detected.
Parking assist may sound spurious tones if it detects an ultrasonic
frequency using the same band as the sensors.
The system consists of inner and outer sensors. When
manoeuvring forward into a garage, etc., the front outer sensors will
cease detection if they detect a stationary or receding object for three
seconds or more, this allows detection directly at the front of the
vehicle in this type of manoeuvre.
Rear Only Parking Assist
Option
Warning: Rear parking assist does not replace need for total
vigilance and caution when parking or reversing.
When parking or reversing make full use of rearward vision
and all mirrors to be aware of persons or objects in the vicinity of
the vehicle. Take appropriate measures to protect them from
danger.
In heavy rain or similar adverse conditions, the rear parking
assist sensors may not always be able to accurately measure
distance to close objects. A fully laden vehicle or irregular
obstacles may also cause inaccurate measurements.
Rear parking assist assists in detecting obstructions as the vehicle is
reversed towards them. The system is ON when reverse gear is
selected. When the system is operating an intermittent ‘beep’ signal
will be heard. The ‘beep’ frequency increases in pitch and
persistence as the vehicle reverses to an obstruction.
