2009 OPEL ANTARA brake sensor

Driving and operation142
Park pilot 3
The park pilot makes parking easier by
measuring the distance between the
vehicle and any obstacles to the front and
rear and giving an acoustic signal in the
passenger compartment.
The system records the distance using four
sensors in both the front and rear bumpers.
To activate
The park pilot activates automatically
when the ignition is switched on and a
forward gear or reverse gear is engaged
and the hand brake is released. The acoustic signal may differ depending
on the type of object detected.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle when
in a forward gear or while reversing, a
series of signals can be heard in the vehicle
interior. The interval between the signals
becomes shorter as the distance is
reduced. If the distance is less than 30 cm,
the signal will be continuous.
To deactivate
The system deactivates automatically
when in neutral (aut omatic transmission 3
in N or P) with the hand brake applied.
When the vehicle speed is greater than
8 km/h (5 mph), the system also
deactivates.
To deactivate the system manually, press
button
b on the instrument panel.
The control indicator in the button will
illuminate.
If the button is pressed again, the control
indicator in the button will extinguish and
the system will be reactivated as soon as a
forward gear or reverse gear is engaged
and the hand brake is released.
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances, various
reflective surfaces on objects or clothing
as well as external noise sources may
cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
The park pilot may not recognise sharp
objects, thick clothes or sponge-like
materials which absorb the frequency.
If the sensors are damaged or covered
with snow, dirt or ice, the park pilot may
not activate.
For these reasons, care must be taken
when reversing, even if the park pilot is
operational. This is of particular
importance when in the vicinity of
pedestrians.
