8.37 Reverse Parking Assist System (RPAS) — Type 1 (if equipped)
Reverse parking assistance system is provided to aid the driver while parking the
vehicle in reverse at a speed of less than 5 kmph. While reversing, RPAS will detect
the obstacles at the rear side of the vehicle within the sensing zone, which cannot be
viewed through the internal rear view mirror and the outside rear view mirrors. The
RPAS will then alert the driver by a beep sound about the location of the detected
obstacle and the distance from the vehicle. The alert sound level will vary
proportional to the distance. Smaller the distance shorter the interval between the
beeps.
Four RPAS sensors are located at the rear bumper to provide complete rear view to
the driver for hassle free parking.
Magnetic devices present in the detection range could vastly affect the sensor
performance and the distance displayed may not be accurate.
8.37.1 Working Principle
• On engaging the gear in reverse, the RPAS system gets activated automatically
and the vehicle image appears in the infotainment screen. Display bars below the
car image indicate the obstacles behind the vehicle
• When the obstacle comes in the sensing zone, the system starts giving the
indication based on the distance and direction of the obstacle as defined in the
detecting zones. The closer the obstacle, more display bars are illuminated
RPAS Information on Infotainment Screen
RPAS display on the infotainment screen gives the following information:
• Left zone indicates obstacle on the left hand side
• Center zone indicates obstacle in the center
• Right zone indicates obstacle on the right hand side
Display bars 1, 2, 3 and 4 indicate how close the obstacle is from the vehicle rear
bumper, with bar 1 being very close and bar 4 being distant. The infotainment
screen display’s a STOP! symbol if the obstacle is less than 50 cm from the vehicle
rear bumper.
