Parking Aid System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking aid system provides an audible warning to the driver when any obstacles are in the path of the vehicle during forward or reverse parking manoeuver.
The system comprises off:
- Parking Aid Control Module (PACM).
- Parking aid switch.
- Four ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper.
- Four ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper.
During low speeds, the PACM uses the ultrasonic sensors to monitor the area around the front and rear bumpers. If an object is detected within a monitored area, the PACM then outputs a warning signal using the audio system speakers. The sensors can detect solid objects such as posts, walls and other vehicles. Objects very close to the ground may not be detected, but because of their low height may not cause damage to the vehicle.
