• System may give a wrong signal on reversing the vehicle on grasslands and
bumpy roads
• System may give a wrong signal while the vehicle is moving from plain
ground to sloping ground or vice versa
• System may give a wrong signal by sensing the ground when the bumper is
tilted more from the normal position or when the vehicle is heavily
overloaded
• System may give a false alarm during heavy rain, windy or snowy conditions
• Clean the sensors and ensure they are free of ice, dust, water, etc. for
proper working of the system
• System will not work properly if the sensor orientation is changed
• The distance of the obstacle displayed is from the rear bumper
• System will not sense pot holes or trenches or drains which are below
ground level
• Any sort of paint or any adhesive on the sensor faces will not guarantee the
proper functioning of the system
• Applying pressure on the sensor face may deteriorate system performance,
so care should be taken while replacing sensors. In the event, the sensors
are found damaged don't attempt to replace them by yourself, bring them to
the notice of your dealer
• Bumper covered with guards and other accessories may not allow sensors
to function properly
• Not all obstacles are detected from 120 cm, for instance, a person is
detected from 75 cm because of weak reflection or absorption of the waves
of clothes
• The distance indication may move up and down due to different sizes of
obstacles at different positions
• Though the obstacle is in the sensing zone, the obstacle may not be
detected in certain cases if the ultrasonic waves are not reflected back to
the sensor
• An obstacle of a conical shape may not be detected, since the ultrasonic
waves get reflected away
RPAS is an aiding system. Under no circumstances will Mahindra accept any
responsibility or can be held liable for any direct or indirect, incidental or
consequential damage caused by this system.
8.38 Reverse Parking Assist System (RPAS) — Type 2 (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.
