What Causes the Sudden Parking Assist System Malfunction Alert?

[VanBeau]

Sudden parking assist system malfunction alerts are typically caused by a faulty radar control box, and replacing it with a new one should resolve the issue. The parking assist system includes ultrasonic sensors embedded in the front and rear bumpers. Each sensor has a diameter of about 15mm. The ultrasonic detection signals emitted by the sensors reflect when they encounter obstacles. Once the sensors receive the reflected signals, they promptly feed them back to the system for distance calculation, alerting the driver through audio or visual cues about the distance to obstacles beyond their line of sight. When reversing, the parking assist system helps the driver detect obstacles and estimates the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles. It can detect objects outside the driver's view and notifies the driver of the distance through specific signals. Whether it's children playing behind the car or low-lying objects like stone pillars, fences, or fire hydrants, the system can detect them immediately. All vehicles should be equipped with a parking assist system, as it helps drivers monitor areas they cannot see.
