Rear parking assist features can be useful if you need to guide your vehicle into a tight space. These systems work for both parallel and perpendicular manoeuvres.Â
One of the best examples of this tool is ParkSense, which comes with Fiat Chrysler Automobile brands. It uses ultrasonic sensors mounted on the fender to locate obstructions. When something is in your path, you hear an audio alert (typically a beep). An icon could also appear in your mirror.Â
On new many new Jeep, Ram, or Dodge vehicles, you also get semi-automated steering. The onboard computer will move the car into its chosen spot. However, the driver can take over at any time by simply touching the wheel.Â
ParkSense is best when paired with a rearview camera and superimposed grid-lines. Such a video feed reveals where your vehicle will go if it continues on its current trajectory. You can use the visuals to adjust your direction as needed. Â
