Self parking

[Auris Geezer]

Having had my car for 7 months, I finally plucked up courage to use the self parking system.  Although it seemed to go ok, if a little fast for my liking, so I feathered the brake.  Too late however and the rear made contact with my garden wall.  I won't be using it again!

I'm sorry for the damage 😟

when you say it was too fast for your liking, what do you mean?

You can go as slow or as fast as you like by feathering the clutch, not the brake

No clutch, it's a hybrid doing it on electric.

The self parking only controls the steering. It is up to the driver to control the speed, with the brakes on the hybrid. It also lets you know when to change from reverse to forward. It is easily missed though as it is in the display next to the speedo. Just listen to the bleeps from the rear sensors to decide when to stop and change direction. Try it again and I am sure you will get used to it. I let my car go into a space that I thought was on the small side but despite a lot of reverse/forward/reverse/forward changes the car succeeded.
