Opel Corsa: Parking assist / Front-rear parking assist

The front-rear parking assist measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and behind the vehicle. It informs and warns the driver by giving acoustic signals and display indication.

It uses two different acoustic warning signals for the front and rear monitoring areas, each with a different tone frequency.

The system operates with ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear and front bumper.

Activation

In addition to the rear parking assist, the front parking assist is triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is below 10 km/h.

The system is ready to operate when the LED in the parking assist button is not illuminated. The state of the system is memorised when the ignition is switched off.

Once activated, rear parking assist is ready to operate when reverse gear is engaged and ignition is switched on.

Indication

The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially hazardous obstacles in front of the vehicle and behind the vehicle.

Depending on which side of the vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals in the vehicle on the respective side. The interval between the sounds becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle. When the distance is less than approx. 30 cm, the sound is continuous.

Additionally, the distance to rear and front obstacles is displayed by changing distance lines in the Info Display.

If the vehicle stops for more than 3 seconds in a forward gear, if automatic transmission is in P

position or if no further obstacles are detected, no acoustic warning signals are given.

Deactivation

The system is deactivated automatically when vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h, by applying the electric parking brake or by pressing the parking assist button .

When the system is deactivated manually, the LED in the button illuminates.

If the system has been deactivated manually, it is not reactivated automatically the next time the ignition is switched on.
