Parking distance sensors3

Parkin g dis tan ce se ns ors make s re ve rse

parking easier by measuring the distance

between the rear of the vehicle a nd an

obstacle, and w arning you with an acoustic

signa l in the passenger compartment.

The sys tem re cord s the dis tance using four

sensors in the rear bumper.

When the ignition is on, the Parking

distance sensors system is activated

automatically when reverse gear is

enga ged or, for automatic transmission 3,

when the selector lever is set to R. A brief

acoustic signal indicates that the sy stem is

rea dy for opera tion.

If the vehicle gets close to an obstacle while

reversing, an interm ittent a coustic signal is

audible in the passenger compartment

when the v ehicle ta il is less tha n one metre

from the ob stacle. The interval between

the signals becomes shorter as the

distance is reduc ed. If the distance is less

than 30 cm, a c ontinuous sig nal is audible.

The system registers the distance by means

of four sensors on the rear bumper. To

ensure that the sensors function correctly

and that the information provided is

correct, they must be undam aged and free

of di rt, sn o w and ice.

Towing equipment 3 , carav an/trail er

tow ing

If towing equipment is fitted to the vehicle,

the system must be set to the appropriate

vehicle length. We recommend that you

contact your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Rear loa d racks 3

Rear load rack s, e. g. bicycle racks, fitted

near the sensors could disrupt the system.

Fault

If a sy ste m fault o ccu rs, there is a

continuous a coustic signal at a distance of

1 metre from the obstacle. Have the cause

of the fault remedied. We rec om mend that

you contact your Vauxhall Authorised

Repairer. The system’s integrated self-

diag nostics allow faults to be quickly

remedied.

In order to avoid operational problems or

erroneous information, the sensors must be

undamag ed a nd free of soiling, snow and

ice.

Under certain circumstances, various

reflective surfaces on objects or clothing

as well as external noise sources may

cause the system to fail to detect

obstacles. For this reason, care must be

taken w hen reversing even if the Parking

distance sensors is operational. This is of

particular importance when in the

vicinity of p edestrians.
