OVERVIEW
Two l evels of parki ng aid sys tem can be fit ted; a rear only sys t em or a front and rear s yst em.
The parking ai d s yst em provi des an audi ble warning t o t he dri ver when any obs tacles are in the pat h of the vehicle duringforward (i f front s ensors are fi tt ed) or revers e parking manoeuvres . The sys tem consi st s of four ult ras onic s ensors in eachbumper, a parki ng aid modul e and a parki ng aid s wi tch.
At low s peeds , the parki ng aid modul e us es the ul trasonic sens ors t o moni tor t he area around t he front and rear bumpers .If an object i s detected wit hin a monit ored area, t he module t hen outputs a warni ng usi ng t he audi o s ys t em s peakers. Thes ens ors can det ect s oli d objects such as pos ts , wall s and other vehicles and can also det ect l es s s oli d objects such as awire mes h fence. Object s very clos e t o t he ground may not be det ect ed, but becaus e of t hei r low hei ght may not causedamage to the vehicle.
The parking ai d s yst em compris es the foll owing component s:
Parking ai d moduleParking ai d s wit chEight parking ai d s ens ors.
The parking ai d module communi cat es via t he medium s peed Cont roll er Area Net work (CAN) bus wit h t he audi o s yst em vi at he Int egrated Cont rol Modul e (ICM). The audi o s yst em then output s t he appl icabl e warni ng t ones from the front or rears peakers when an object is detect ed. The medi um s peed CAN bus is al s o us ed to col lect vehicle dat a from other vehi cles ys t ems .
Parking Aid Module
The parking ai d module is l ocat ed on the Left Hand (LH) s ide of t he l uggage compart ment , behind t he 'C' pil lar trim panel .
The parking ai d module has t hree connect ors whi ch provide for power, ground and CAN bus connecti ons , front parking ai ds ens ors and rear parking ai d s ens ors .
The medium s peed CAN bus connect ions provi de for t he receipt of the foll owing i nformat ion from ot her s ys tems :
Anti -l ock Brake Sys t em (ABS) modul e - Road s peed si gnalTrans mis s ion Cont rol Modul e (TCM) - Reverse gear engaged si gnalTrai ler module - Trailer at tached to vehicl eIns t rument clus ter - Ambi ent t emperat ure s ignal.
The module al so out puts mess ages on t he medium speed CAN bus whi ch are recei ved by the Int egrated Control Modul e(ICM). The ICM proces s es t hes e mes s ages and convert s t hem int o Media Ori ent ated Sys tem Trans port (MOST) s i gnal swhich are pass ed t o t he audi o s yst em power ampl ifi er. These s ignal s are then us ed by t he power ampl ifier t o emit theappl icable warning t ones from t he front or rear audi o s peakers when an object i s detected by the front or rear parki ng aids ens ors . A warning t one can als o be emi tt ed t o alert the driver to a faul t in the parki ng aid s ys tem.
The parking ai d module performs s elf check rout ines and when t he s yst em is acti ve checks the sens or wiring for short oropen ci rcuit s . If a fault i s detected a code i s s tored in a memory in the modul e and if neces s ary ei ther t he front and/or rears ens ors can be dis abl ed. The driver is made aware of any faul t condit ion by the parki ng aid s wi tch Light Emi tt ing Di ode(LED) flas hing and a conti nuous warning t one bei ng emi tt ed for 3 seconds , in place of the normal short tones when t hes ys t em i s functi oning normal ly. Faul t codes can be read usi ng t he Int egrated Di agnost ic Syst em (IDS) vi a t he diagnost ics ocket.
Parking Aid Sensors
Four ul trasonic sens ors are located i n t he front and rear bumpers . Each s ens or compri s es a s ens or and a bumper ins ert .The ins ert ens ures t hat each s ensor i s correctl y ori entat ed in relat ion t o i ts l ocation i n t he bumper.
Each sens or has a three pin connect or which mat es wit h a bumper harnes s, whi ch in t urn is connect ed to the main bodyharnes s. Three pi ns provide for power s upply, ground and s ignal lines t o and from the parki ng aid modul e.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
W hen t he parking ai d module act ivates t he s yst em, t he s wit ch LED is i ll uminated and a s ingle tone i s emit ted from t hefront and rear audi o s peakers to indicate that the sys tem is operati ng. The parki ng aid module then proces s es si gnal sreceived from the s ens ors t o determine if t here is an object wit h t he det ecti on range of the sens ors .
In the combi ned mode, t he s ensors emit a s eries of ult ras onic i mpuls es and t hen swi tch t o recei ver mode t o recei ve theecho refl ect ed by an obs tacle wit hin t he detecti on range. The received echo si gnal s are amplified and converted from ananal ogue si gnal t o a di git al s i gnal by t he s ens or. The di gi tal s ignal is pas s ed to the parki ng aid modul e and compared wi thpre-programmed dat a s t ored i n an EEPRO M wi thin the modul e. The modul e receives t his data via t he s ignal line from t hes ens or and cal cul ates t he dis t ance from the object us ing the el aps ed t ime bet ween t he transmit ted and recei ved i mpuls e.The durat ion of t he impuls e durati on is det ermi ned by the modul e, wit h the sens or cont roll ing t he frequency of t he impuls eoutput.
In receiver mode, t he s ensor receives i mpuls es that were emit t ed by adjacent s ensors. The modul e us es thi s informat iont o precis ely det ermi ne the pos it ion and di s tance of the object .
If no object s are detected t here are no furt her warning t ones . If an object is detect ed, repeat ed audi ble t ones are emi tt edfrom ei ther t he front or rear audio s peakers as appropriate. The t ime delay between t he t ones decreas es as the di s tancebetween t he object and the vehicle decreas es , unt il at approximat ely 250 mm (10 inches), t he audi bl e t one becomescont inuous.
If, aft er the init ial detecti on of an object, t here i s no decrease in di st ance bet ween t he object and t he vehicle, t he audi bl ewarni ng tones remain const ant if t he object is det ect ed by a central s ens or or s t ops after 3 seconds if t he object i sdetected by a corner sens or.
The audi ble t ones wil l st op i f the vehicle is moved out of revers e gear. The module cont inues to monit or the di st ance andwil l res ume t he warni ng tones i f a decreas e in di st ance is detect ed.

6. BATTERY CHARGING AND MAINTENANCE
BATTERY CHARGING
It is es s ent ial t hat a sui tably vent ilat ed defi ned area exis ts in each dealers hip / ret ailer for bat tery charging. Li kewis e, anarea s hould be al lot ted for s crap batt eries , and clearl y indicat ed as s uch. It is recommended t hat dealers / ret ail ers al wayshave full y charged batt eri es ready for us e. However t he bat t ery MUST BE tes ted and charged i f neces sary every mont h, andcharged aft er three months i rres pecti ve of any t es t.
• CAUTIO NS:
Bat teri es mus t be re-charged aft er a maximum of 3 mont hs st orage (s ee Storage His tory s heet i n t he New VehicleStorage Manual ).
It is very important t hat when chargi ng bat t eries us ing the t racti on charger or ot her s t and-alone chargers t hat thecharger i s s et for t he correct t ype of bat tery before chargi ng commences . If t he wrong swi tch i s s elected t he res ult woul dbe a bat tery that i s not charged full y and / or overheat ing can occur. Fol low the manufact urers operat ing ins truct ions .
Do not charge AGM bat t eries wit h vol tages over 14.8 volt s as t hi s wi ll damage the bat tery.
To bri ng a s ervi ceable but di scharged batt ery back t o a full y charged condit ion proceed as follows :
Check and i f neces s ary t op-up t he batt ery el ect rolyt e level.Charge t he batt ery us ing the Mi dtroni cs Diagnos t ic Charger (USA) or Tract ion Charger (all other market s) foll owingt he manufact urers operati ng ins t ructi ons .
• NOTE: W hen us ing the Mi dtroni cs Diagnost ic Charger, aut omati c mode mus t always be us ed. Aft er chargi ng and anal ysi s,t he charger may di s pl ay ‘Top-Off Charging’, pres s STOP t o end. Do not s top chargi ng unt il t he current falls to 5A or les s,otherwis e t he batt ery wi ll not be ful ly charged.
POST-CHARGE TEST METHODS
New Batteries, Batteries in Storage and In-Service Batteries
The purpos e of thi s tes t is to ens ure that t he chargi ng process has full y charged the bat tery.
• NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS TEST IS CO NDUCTED AT LEAST 24 HOURS AFTER THE CHARGE CY CLE ISCOMPLETED.

If the el ect rolyt e level is l ow, top-up usi ng dis t ill ed water.
Maint enance free and Valve Regulat ed (AGM) bat teries are s eal ed and therefore cannot be topped up.
