Parking Assist

PARK ASSIST SYSTEM

!

WARNING:

It remains the driver’s responsibility to
be vigilant when reversing. Small
children or animals may not be
detected by the system.

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.

The Park Assist System is always
automatically switched on when the
ignition is turned on.

Caution:
• If, for example, you are driving

within a confined space, such as a
home garage, the outer sensors will
detect the side walls and after three
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.

• The rear sensors are not active

when the gear selector is in neutral,
therefore, care should be taken if
moving the vehicle as the tone will
not sound.

• Do not clean the sensors with

abrasive or sharp objects.

Note:

•

For reliable operation, the sensors in
the front and rear bumpers should be
kept free from ice, frost and grime.

•

When using a high pressure spray the
sensors should only be sprayed briefly
and not from a distance of less than
20 cm (8 inches). Do not clean the
sensors with abrasive materials.

•

The front parking assist may sound
spurious tones if it detects a
frequency tone using the same band
as the sensors.

Rear parking assist

When reverse gear is selected and the
ignition is ON, rear parking assist
automatically provides an audible
proximity warning (to the nearest
detected object) when reversing the
vehicle. If obstacles are detected within
operating range of the rear of the vehicle,
as shown in the illustration below.

Parking Assist

L

(1) is approximately 60 cm (24 inches).

(2) is approximately 160 cm (63 inches).

Front and rear parking assist

When both front and rear parking assist
are fitted, a switch is located in the
overhead console.

Pressing the switch turns front and rear
parking assist on or off together. The
integral switch warning indicator will
come on when the system is turned off or
if a fault is detected in the system. A
switch is not provided when only rear
parking assist is fitted.

Note: The front parking assist will also
operate when reverse gear is selected.

Front parking assist provides an audible
proximity warning when driving forwards.

The front sensors only operate within a
fixed speed range in forward gears and
are not effective when moving forwards
above 15 km/h (9 mph) or when slowing
down until below 7 km/h (4½ mph).

Objects are detected within the operating
range shown in the illustration (between
approximately 60 cm (24 inches) (1), 160
cm (63 inches) (2) and 80 cm (31 inches)
(3).

If an obstacle is detected at the front or
rear of the vehicle, a beep tone will be
heard from the front or rear speaker
respectively.

The beep tone increases in rate as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle.

The front or rear parking assist beep will
become continuous when the obstacle is
detected at or within 30 cm (12 inches) (1)
from the rear or approximately 25 cm (10
inches) (1) from the front of the vehicle.

If the system has a fault when engaging
reverse gear or turning on the ignition,
then a single, three second tone will be
heard (only once per ignition cycle) and, if
fitted, the switch lamp will come on. The
system is automatically disabled when a
fault is detected.
