The reversing radar main unit of the Geely GS is installed inside the decorative panel of the trunk. Introduction to the reversing radar: The reversing radar, also known as the reverse anti-collision radar or parking assist device, mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display or buzzer. It is a safety auxiliary device for parking or reversing, which informs the driver about surrounding obstacles through sound or a more intuitive display. It eliminates the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle, and helps to remove blind spots and unclear vision. When reversing, the reversing radar uses the ultrasonic principle. The sensor installed on the rear bumper sends ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, calculates the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, and then alerts the driver, making parking or reversing easier and safer. Method to locate the reversing radar main unit: Remove the decorative panel of the trunk to see it.
I've driven a Geely GS for several years, and the installation position of the reverse radar control unit is quite important. It is usually located behind the left or right rear interior trim of the trunk, with the exact position depending on the vehicle configuration. The most common location is near the bumper on the trunk wall. Why is it placed there? Because all the wiring from the rear radar sensors converges there, and the control unit processes the signals, ensuring the shortest connection and high reliability. During maintenance, I can see the control unit box secured in place by lifting the soft padding. The concealed position helps prevent collisions or water ingress, such as avoiding short circuits on rainy days. If the control unit stops working, check if it's being pressed by objects or if the wiring is loose. It's recommended to perform regular maintenance checks to ensure safety.
