These systems feature ultrasonic proximity detectors to measure the distances to nearby objects via sensors located in the front and/or rear bumper fascias or visually minimized within adjacent grills or recesses.
The sensors emit acoustic pulses, with a control unit measuring the return interval of each reflected signal and calculating object distance.The system in turns warns the driver with acoustic tones, the
frequency mindicating object distance, with faster tones indicating closer proximity and a continuous tone indicating a minimal pre-defined distance. Systems may also include visual aids, such as LED or LCD readouts to indicate object distance. A vehicle may include a vehicle pictogram on the car's infotainment screen, with a representation of the nearby objects as coloured blocks.
Rear sensors may be activated when reverse gear is selected and deactivated as soon as any other gear is selected. Front sensors may be activated manually and deactivated automatically when the vehicle reaches a pre-determined speed — to avoid subsequent nuisance warnings.
If you would like to have a set of parking sensors supplied and fitted to your car all we need from you is the paint code of your car and we will do the rest. Once we have your vehicles paint code we will have the sensors professionally painted to the exact colour of your car. Once we get the sensors back from paint we will contact you to arrange a time and place that suits you to have your sensors professionally installed.
