Parking Aid in Operation
The purpose of the parking aid is to assist the
driver in reversing! The sensors may not be
able to detect obstacles of certain type, e.g.
narrow posts or small objects no more than
a few inches wide, small objects close to the
ground, objects above the tailgate and some
objects with non-reflective surfaces.
When the START/STOP Switch is in the ON/RUNNING
position, the rear parking aid is enabled automatically when
reverse gear is selected, it is switched off as soon as reverse

within 1 second after selecting reverse gear to indicate that
the system is operating normally.

Note: If a longer, higher pitched sound is emitted for
3 seconds when reverse gear is selected this indicates
a fault in the system. In this case seek assistance from
your MG Authorised Repairer.
Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow.
If deposits build up on the surface of the
sensors, their performance may be impaired.
When washing the car, avoid aiming high
pressure water jets directly at the sensors
from close range.
With the parking aid enabled, when obstacles are detected,
the system will give sounds in different frequencies (there
might be blind areas).
Rear Parking Aid

behind the vehicle to search for obstacles. If any obstacle
