Parking assistant
The concept
This system assists the driver in parking parallel to the road.
Ultrasound sensors measure parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
The parking assistant calculates the best possible parking line and takes control of steering during the parking procedure.
When parking, also take note of the visual and acoustic information issued by the PDC and the parking assistant and accelerate or brake accordingly.
A component of the parking assistant is the PDC Park Distance Control
Personal responsibility
The parking assistant does not relieve the
driver of responsibility for the vehicle during the
parking procedure.
Watch the parking space and parking procedure closely and intervene if necessary; otherwise, there is the danger of an accident.◀
