If you are at all like me you probably don’t like to parallel park if you can help it. The good news is you are not alone. There are millions of us out there that hate to parallel park. We wanted to provide you with a sort of guide to parallel parking regarding parking sensors to help you see how easy it could be.

First of all with car parking sensors you will have a front parking sensor, and a rear parking sensor. Both parking sensors will need to be engaged in order to parallel park with ease. The system from Parking Dynamics is the PD1 electromagnetic parking sensor. It offers the best range on the entire bumper and the corners of the bumper. You will never have to wonder how close you get to the curb, cars around you or other objects with this PD1 parking sensor system. The added benefit of the parking sensor from Parking Dynamics is the “invisible when fitted” design. It requires no maintenance and does not make your bumpers unsightly.

When you place the car in reverse to start backing into the parallel space the reverse parking sensor will engage. It will tell you how close you get to an object. There are three zones. The first has an inconsistent beep, the second zone speeds up a little more, and the third zone is a constant beep. It is this last zone that tells you when you are close enough to cause damage. In other words you will need to reposition your vehicle.

The front parking sensor works a little differently. Once the car is in position in which you need to pull forward to straighten out the vehicle you need to press the button under the dash. This button engages the front parking sensor. You can also engage the sensor as you begin. This way when the sensor gets close to the back bumper of the car in front of you, you will know if you can turn the wheel and swing into the space without repositioning.

The front parking sensor offers two zones. The first is an inconsistent beep and the second is the constant sound. By using the electromagnetic parking sensors you never have to worry about hitting another car when you parallel park. The PD1 parking sensor is a warning system to avoid accidents in any situation as well as to make parallel parking easier.

In a recent blog we spoke about the fear of parallel parking. It is absolutely true; most drivers will avoid parallel parking at all costs because there is such a danger in causing an accident. When you are learning to drive you do have to learn how to parallel park, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it easier on yourself and your vehicle with reverse sensors. We are going to describe how you want to parallel park and what the parking sensors can tell you.

· To parallel park you will need to signal to other drivers on the road that you are turning.

· Then you will need to pull your vehicle up next to the car in front of the space you are parking in. Your vehicle should be pulled up past the driver’s side window of the other car. In other worlds your vehicle bumper is almost at the half mark of the other car.

· Once in position and the other traffic is either gone around you or waiting you can start parking. You will need to back up at almost a 45 degree angle. Once your car has passed the bumper of the other car you will slowly start to turn the wheel in the other direction. If done right it takes one smooth move to park your car without hitting the curb behind you, the car in front of you or the car behind you. Your bumper when turning to straighten out your vehicle should be close to the car in front of you, but not enough to cause damage.

This last statement in the above information is why you would need a parking aid. A parking sensor like the Parking Dynamics PD1 will tell you when you are too close to another object. With parking sensors in the front bumper you know when your bumper is too close to the rear bumper on the other car. This means you would need to stop turning, straighten your wheels and ease back. It could also mean you need to reposition your vehicle to try parallel parking again.

A reverse parking sensor will help you know when you are too close to the curb or the bumper of the car behind you. The electromagnetic parking sensor, PD1, offers the best technology for parallel parking to prevent accidents.

The Parking Dynamics parking aid does not require you to drill holes in your bumper or leave an unsightly sensor on the outside. Instead the parking sensor will be on the inside of the bumper and adheres well to the bumpers on newer cars. The electromagnetic sensor will require adaptation for a metal bumper, but they can also be used on the metal. To save yourself from an accident in the future get your parking aid now.
