What is the reason for the unavailability of the visual parking system (OPS)?
2 Answers
The unavailability of the visual parking system (OPS) is due to an intake system air leak, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture. Below is relevant information about the parking system: 1. Introduction: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the vehicle when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, whether a handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker than that of the service brake, only sufficient to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope. 2. Classification: There are different types of parking brakes, such as the mechanical mechanisms operated by hand or foot as mentioned above. Additionally, high-end vehicles are increasingly adopting electronically controlled parking systems, commonly referred to as electronic parking brakes.
I've been driving for almost thirty years, handling both old and new cars, and I've frequently encountered issues with parking systems, like the OPS visual parking system you mentioned becoming unavailable. It's quite common. The most frequent problem is the camera getting obscured by mud or condensation, making it hard to see, or the parking radar failing, or the wiring connections loosening, leading to poor contact when the car jolts. Last time I was on a long trip, the system stopped working after heavy rain, forcing me to reverse by feel—how dangerous! Sometimes, it's just the software acting up, and a simple restart of the car fixes it. For safety, I suggest you stop immediately to check if the camera is clean. If that doesn't help, take it to a repair shop to have the fuses checked or the system recalibrated. Don't delay.
