2015 VAUXHALL ADAM steering

142Driving and operating
slots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parkingslots on the driver side, switch on turn
indicator to the driver side for the
durance of the search.
As soon as the turn indicator is
switched off, the system searches for
parking slots on the passenger side
again.Display indication
The instructions in the display show:
■ general hints and warning messages,
■ a hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode,
■ the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected,
■ the direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre,
■ the demand to shift rearwards or forwards,
■ the demand to accelerate or brake,
■ for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the DriverInformation Centre,■ the successful parking indicated by
a pop-up symbol and a chime,
■ the cancelling of a parking manoeuvre.
Display priorities
Advanced parking assist indication on
the Driver Information Centre can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing the SET/CLR
button on the turn signal lever,
advanced parking assist instructions
appear again and the parking
manoeuvre can be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ long press of button D,
■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended,
■ driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot search,
■ driving faster than 5 mph during parking guidance,
■ driver interference on steering wheel detected,
