steering wheel VAUXHALL ADAM 2014 Owner's Guide

138Driving and operating
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Pay always attention on the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Display indication
The instructions in the display show:
■ general hints and warning messages
■ a hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode,■ the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected,
■ the direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre,
■ the demand to shift rearwards or forwards,
■ the demand to accelerate or brake,
■ for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the DriverInformation Centre,
■ the successful parking indicated by
a pop-up symbol and a chime,
■ the cancelling of a parking manoeuvre.Selecting of parallel or perpendicular
parking
When searching for a parking slot,
select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot by pressing SET/CLR
button on the turn signal lever.

Driving and operating139
If the system is equipped with Colour-
Info-Display, select the type of
parking slot by tapping the display
icon 6 or 7.
The display shows the type of parking
slot.
Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
indicator to the driver side for the
durance of the search.
As soon as the turn indicator is
switched off, the system searches for
parking slots on the passenger side
again.
Display priorities
After activating the advanced parking assist, a message appears in the
Driver Information Centre or Colour-
Info-Display. Advanced parking
assist indication in the Driver
Information Centre can be inhibited
by vehicle messages with a higher
priority. After approving the message
by pressing the SET/CLR button on
the turn signal lever, advanced
parking assist instructions appear
again and the parking manoeuvre can
be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ long press of button D,
■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended,
■ driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot search,
■ driving faster than 5 mph during parking guidance,
■ driver interference on steering wheel detected,
