Parking aids
93
Parking aids may not detect moving objects,
such as children and animals until they are
dangerously close. Always exercise extreme
caution when maneuvering and always use
the mirrors.
It remains the driver’s responsibility to detect
obstacles and estimate the vehicle’s distance
from them. Some overhanging objects,
barriers, small children, animals, thin
obstructions or painted surfaces may not be
detected by the system.
The parking aid sensors may not detect some
obstructions (e.g. narrow posts, small objects
close to the ground and some objects with
dark, non-reflective surfaces). Parking aids are
for guidance only and are not intended to
replace the driver’s visual checks for
obstructions or objects when maneuvering.
Systems using the same frequency band as the
front parking sensors may cause irregular
tones to be emitted.
Note: The sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral and in drive after moving
from reverse. Therefore an audible warning
tone will sound if an obstacle is detected.
USING THE PARKING AID
The parking aid system switches off when
vehicle speed exceeds 9 mph (15 km/h) in
drive (D) and will need to be reselected again if
needed.
When in reverse, neutral or drive, press the
switch (2) to turn the parking aid on (switch
indicator illuminates) and off.
A pop-up appears on the touch screen,
showing a plan view of the vehicle and the
immediate surrounding area. Touch the
pop-up to cancel this view.
When objects are detected the Park aid will
emit a warning tone which increases in
frequency as the vehicle gets closer to the
object and then becomes constant when the
obstacle is within 12 inches (300 mm).
If an obstacle is detected at the front or rear of
the vehicle, a warning tone will be heard from
the front or rear speakers respectively. The
speakers used will be nearest to the obstacle
i.e. rear speakers if the obstacle is behind the
vehicle.
Objects are detected within the approximate
operating ranges as shown in the illustration
(items 3, 4 and 5).
Note: The front parking aid provides an audible
proximity warning when driving forwards or
reversing.
Note: If a rear-view camera is fitted, when
reverse gear (R) is selected, the camera display
is selected automatically. To view the parking
aid display, touch the screen.
Note: The outer sensors will switch off if the
distance to an object increases or remains
constant for 3 seconds. The sensors will
reactivate automatically if a new object is
detected within the operating range, or if the
distance to the original object reduces.
