Why does Porsche make it so difficult to figure out what exactly you are getting! Could you guys give me a hand deciphering these two parking assistance options?
Does anyone know if videos of these two systems are available online?
STANDARD: ParkAssist (front and rear) with Surround View
- What does this give you?
- A reverse camera?
- Birds eye view?
- Front view?
- Does it show proximity to the kerb?
- Does it show parking guidelines?
OPTIONAL (As part of the Active Parking Support Package) 3D Surround view
- Other than being able to spin around the vehicle, what other enhancements would this package have?
The other aspects of the optional Active Parking Support Package are not of any real interest to me, so I'm trying to determine is it worth the extra AUD$2000?
- Active Parking Support
The system automatically detects parking space. Once the system has signaled that the parking space is a sufficient size, the driver can initiate and control the parking process. The system automatically takes over the steering and the forward and backward movement of the vehicle. The Active Parking Assistance is able to park the vehicle in parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.
- Exit Warning
The Exit Warning warns of other vehicles approaching from behind when the door is opened. The system uses the LED lighting in the door release leavers in the vehicle interior as a warning.
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses the rear radar and, where system limitations allow, warns the driver when reversing slowly when the parking aid is activated. The system warns, for example, of critically approaching vehicles when leaving a perpendicular parking space. The information is provided in stages – visually on the PCM touchscreen display, audibly and, if necessary, with a jolt of the brakes.
- Maneuvering Assist
The Maneuvering Assist can, where system limitations allow, prevent collisions through braking in tight and complex maneuvering situations when reversing.
