Reverse Parking Assis-

tance System (RPAS) (If

equipped)

Reverse parking assistance system is

provided to aid the driver while parking

the vehicle in reverse at a speed of less

than 5 kmph. While reversing, RPAS will

detect the obstacles at the rear side of the

vehicle within the sensing zone, which

cannot be viewed through the internal

rear view mirror and the outside rear view

mirrors. The RPAS will then alert the

driver by a beep sound about the location

of the detected obstacle and the distance

from the vehicle. The alert sound level will

vary proportional to the distance. Smaller

the distance shorter the interval between

the beeps.

RPAS Sensors

Four RPAS sensors are located at the

rear bumper to provide complete rear

view to the driver for hassle free parking.  

Limitations of RPAS

• System may not sense obstacles like

wire mesh, handrail, small objects which

are below the bumper level

• System may not sense obstacles with

cotton or spongy surface, which will

absorb ultrasonic waves emitted by RPAS

• System performance is dependent on

the reflection angle of the obstacle

• System may alert with beep sound while

reversing the vehicle on grasslands and

bumpy roads, considering it to be an

obstacle

• System may give signal while the

vehicle moves from plain ground to a

slope terrain vice versa  

• System may give signal by sensing the

ground when the bumper is tilted more

from the normal position or when the

vehicle is heavily overloaded

• System may sound an alarm during
