ParkAssist
When the driver is parking and maneuvering
the vehicle, ParkAssist indicates the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle by means
of signal tones.
f For information on the ParkAssist visual
display and the rearview camera, please refer
also to the section “ParkAssist” in the
operating instructions for the Porsche
communication Management (PCM).
ParkAssist is activated automatically when
reverse gear is selected and the ignition is on.
If the vehicle has front ParkAssist, this
automatically provides a warning if
– the distance between the vehicle and an
obstacle in front is less than approx. 49 in.
(100 cm).
A warning signal sounds.
– the distance between the vehicle and an
obstacle in front is less than approx. 32 in.
(80 cm).
The ParkAssist visual display appears on the
central screen of the Porsche communication
system.
Front and rear ParkAssist is not activated in the
following situations:
– At a speed of more than approx. 9 mph
(15 km/h) or
– when the electric parking brake is activated or
– when the PDK selector lever is at position P.
Warning!
Injury hazard. Even with ParkAssist,
responsibility for parking and for assessing
obstacles lies with the driver.
A continuous tone sounds when there is a risk
of collision.
f Make sure that no persons, animals or
obstacles are within the maneuvering area.
f If the continuous tone sounds, do not move the
vehicle any close to the obstacle.
Sensors
Four ultrasound sensors A in the rear bumper and
six sensors B in the front bumper (depending on
vehicle equipment) measure the distance to the
closest obstacle:
– Range behind the vehicle: approx. 71 in.
(180 cm)
– Range at the side of the vehicle: approx. 31 in.
(80 cm)
– Range in front of the vehicle: approx. 47 in
(120 cm)
Obstacles cannot be detected in the “blind”
sensor area (above and below the sensors,
e.g. objects hanging down or close to the
ground).
