On the Road 4 - 35
Park Distance Control
Caution: It remains the driver’s
responsibility to detect obstacles and
estimate the car’s distance from
them. Some overhanging objects,
barriers, thin obstructions or painted
surfaces which could possibly cause
damage to the vehicle may not be
detected by the system. Always be
vigilant when reversing.
Park distance control is always
automatically switched on when the
ignition is turned on.
Caution:
1. If, for example, you are driving into a confined space such as a
home garage, the outer sensors
will detect the side walls and after
3 seconds will switch the tone off.
However, as movement
continues, the inner sensors will
eventually detect the rear wall
and will start the tone again.
2. The sensors are not active when the gear selector is in neutral,
therefore, take care if moving the
vehicle as the tone will not be
heard.
3. Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp objects. Note:
1. For reliable operation, the sensors in
the front (if fitted) and rear bumpers
should be kept free from frost, ice and
grime.
2. When using a high pressure spray the sensors should only be sprayed briefly
and at least 8 inches (20 cm) distance
from the sensors.
3. The front parking aid may sound spurious tones if it detects a frequency
tone using the same band as the
sensors.
Rear Park Distance Control
When reverse gear is selected and
ignition is on, rear park distance control
automatically provides an audible
proximity warning (to the nearest
detected obstacle) when reversing the
vehicle if obstacles are detected within
the operating range, shown in the
illustration above (between
approximately 24 inches [60 cm] ( A) and
63 inches [160 cm] ( B).
