Reversing Radar System
Reversing radar system can assist the driver in
parking and adjusting the parking position.
Ultrasonic wave is transmitted and received by the
ultrasonic sensor installed near the rear bumper.
The distance between the car and the rear
obstacles can be measured by the system’s
transmitting and receiving the reflected ultrasonic
wave. As the car is near the rear obstacles, the
system will send alarms with different sound
according to the clearance between them: The
shorter the clearance is, the shorter and quicker
the sound will be; if the car is very close to the
obstacles, continuous alarm will be given. By this
time, if the car continues to approach the
obstacles, the system will be unable to detect
them anymore. Except alarm sound, the audio
system display screen will also show the dynamic
icons of radar detection.
Start and stop of the reversing radar system
As the Start switch or the ignition switch is at “ON”
position, release the parking brake and switch the
shift lever to gear “R”; when the car speed is lower
than 10 km/h, the rear ultrasonic sensor is
enabled, and disabled when the car speed is
greater than 10 km/h. Release the shift lever off
gear “R”; enable the parking brake; release the
Start switch or the ignition switch off “ON” position;
then the reversing radar turns off.
Dynamic icons (apply to certain models)
The dynamic icons shown on the audio system
screen indicate the distance between the car and
the front and rear obstacles.
The change of such dynamic icons synchronizes
with the change of distance alarm.
