What is the usage method of front parking sensors?
2 Answers
Front parking sensors have an on/off switch. They can be turned off when not in use. Front parking sensors can detect obstacles below the bumper that are difficult for the driver to see from inside the vehicle. The front sensor probes are installed on the front bumper, radiating at approximately a 45-degree angle to search for targets in all directions.
As an ordinary driver who frequently drives, using the front parking sensors is actually quite simple, mainly coming in handy during daily parking and low-speed driving. After starting the car, the sensors usually activate automatically, monitoring obstacles ahead when reversing or moving forward slowly. When approaching an object, it emits beeping sounds – slower beeps indicate greater distance, while rapid beeps mean the obstacle is very close. I often use this feature when parallel parking in crowded cities, carefully listening to judge the position and avoid hitting walls or small poles. It's important to regularly maintain and clean the sensors to prevent dust from affecting accuracy. Once after rainy weather, my sensors malfunctioned, but wiping them clean fixed the issue. I recommend beginners practice more with this feature as it significantly reduces minor collisions, especially in dark garages or narrow streets. Overall, it makes driving more reassuring and hassle-free, serving as a practical assistance tool.
