How to Solve Parking Assistance Malfunction?
2 Answers
Parking assistance system malfunctions require inspection and repair at an authorized car 4S dealership. Below is a detailed introduction to the functions of the parking assistance system: 1. Distance measurement: The system measures the parking position and calculates the required distance to park between two vehicles. The control unit uses position sensors installed on the front and rear bumpers to measure the distance between the parked vehicle and surrounding vehicles. 2. Signal alert: When there is sufficient space for parking, the system emits an audible signal to notify the driver, who can then activate the parking assistance system after stopping. 3. Vehicle steering control: During the operation of the parking assistance system, the driver does not need to turn the steering wheel; the automatic control system manages the entire steering process. If the driver needs to take control, simply turning the steering wheel will automatically deactivate the parking system.
When I encountered a parking assist malfunction, my first reaction was to see why the system suddenly stopped working. That day, the alarm failed while I was reversing, so I quickly got out to check the sensor area and found a lot of mud buildup on the rear bumper, blocking the sensing points. After gently wiping it clean with a damp cloth and restarting the vehicle, the problem was resolved. During regular car washes, pay attention to cleaning these areas—avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the sensors, as they can damage delicate components. Also, the system settings menu is often accidentally touched, turning off the parking function, so check the central control screen to confirm it's enabled. If the issue persists, it might be due to a dirty camera or loose wiring, requiring a visit to the repair shop for a professional to inspect connections and error codes. Safe driving shouldn’t be taken lightly—addressing faults promptly saves hassle and money. During routine maintenance, ask about this issue more often—don’t wait for an accident to regret it.
