The Parking Assistant feature basically helps you in parallel parking. If for some reason, it malfunctions, you will encounter a whole host of parking-related problems. But don't worry… this graphical presentation will help you in finding out and fix the real culprit behind this problem.
9. The Parking Assistance
system relies on ultrasonic
sensors to:-
Find a suitable parking spot.
Help the onboard computer to
park your BMW into the parking
spot safely.
10. So, if one of these sensors
stops working, the "Parking
Assistance" will
malfunction.
12. In addition to sensors, the
parking assist system
relies on a control unit to
operate.
13. The control unit is responsible for:-
Analyzing the data received from
different sensors. And,
Determining the right way to safely
guide the vehicle into the parking
spot.
14. If the control unit goes bad,
the parking assist system
will malfunction.
19. Here’s a quick reminder of what the
Parking Assistant does:-
It helps you to detect a convenient
parking spot. And,
Helps the driver in parallel parking.
20. And, to do so, the Parking
Assistant needs the help
of a very complicated
algorithm.
21. If for some reason, that
algorithm fails, the Parking
Assistant will act up.
