1. COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS OF PARKING AID
SYSTEM
The parking aid system emits the supersonic wave signals from the sensors on the rear bumper
with a specific interval and detects the reflected signals from obstacles while the gear selecto
r
lever is in “R” position.
The number of displaying bars is decreased and the alarm interval becomes faster as the
obstacle approaches. This supplementary system is to secure the safety distance for parking.
Parking aid unit
Detecting type: Super sonic wave
Detecting distance: 25 ~ 120 cm
(distance between sensor and obstacle)

Multi-meter
Front monitor ICM box
Even in other modes, it is changed to the parking aid
screen when moving the gear selector lever into
“R” position.
When moving the gear selector lever into “R”
position
while watching DVD or VCD, the rearview appears on
the front monitor.
When moving the gear selector lever into “R”
position, the alarm buzzer in ICM box sounds (installed
at bottom of STICS).
Parking aid sensor(Rear bumper)
The three parking aid sensors send the distance data
between rear bumper and obstacle to PAS unit.
Rearview camera
The rearview camera sends the rearview to the monitor
by using wide angle lens.
PAS unit
It is a control unit for the parking aid system (PAS) and
transmits the signals from sensors to multimeter and
buzzer.(installed in tuner/amplifier bracket)

3) Cautions on parking aid system
Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area.
Always check nobody, especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle.
Normal precautions when reversing should be maintained. *
*
The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking operation.
Always keep the safety precautions.
Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or high-pressure water gun while washing, o
r
the sensors will be damaged.
If the system is in normal operating conditions, a short beep sounds when the gear selecto
r
lever is moved into “R” position with the ignition key “ON”.
If the system is in abnormal operating conditions, a beep sounds for 3 seconds when the
gear selector lever is moved into “R” position with the ignition key “ON” or engine
running. However, it is also occurred when the obstacle is within 50 cm from the rea
r
bumper. 1.

(1) The parking aid system will not work or improperly work under
following cases:
▶Certain obstacles that sensors can not detect
- Wires, ropes, chains.
- Cotton, sponge, clothes, snow that absorb ultrasonic waves.
- Obstacles lower than the bumper.
▶Not defective but improperly working
- When the sensing portion is frozen.
- When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud.
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals
(metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial vehicles).
- When a high-power radio is turned on.
▶Narrowed sensing area
- When the sensing portion is partially covered by snow or mud.

▶Not defective but may occur improper working
- When driving on the rough road, gravel road, hill and grass.
- When the bumper height is changed due to the heavy load.
- When the sensing portion is frozen.
- When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud.
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals
(metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial vehicles).
- When a high-power radio is turned on.
- When some accessories are attached in detecting ranges
