Skoda Rapid Rear Parking Sensors with Audible Alerts
Make reversing and parking easier with this aftermarket Skoda Rapid rear parking sensor system. Four ultrasonic sensors monitor the area behind the vehicle and provide audible distance warnings through an interior buzzer.
Because low obstacles and objects directly behind the vehicle can be difficult to judge, the system helps you detect walls, posts, parked cars and other nearby hazards. Therefore, you can reverse into garages, driveways and parking spaces with greater confidence.
As the Skoda Rapid moves closer to an object, the warning tone becomes more frequent. As a result, the changing alert helps you judge the remaining distance without requiring an additional display.
The colour-coded sensors blend neatly into the rear bumper. In addition, the system activates automatically when you select reverse gear, so you do not need to operate a separate switch.
Please note: this is an aftermarket rear parking sensor system and is not the genuine Skoda factory system.
How It Works
When you select reverse gear, the system automatically activates the four ultrasonic sensors across the rear bumper. The sensors then scan the area behind the vehicle and measure the distance to nearby obstacles.
If the sensors detect an object, the interior buzzer produces an audible warning. Initially, the tone sounds slowly while the obstacle remains further away. However, as the vehicle moves closer, the warning becomes more frequent.
Consequently, the changing tone gives you a clear indication of the reducing distance. Once you move out of reverse, the system switches off automatically.
