Available Park Distance Control, also known as Park Pilot, makes parking easier through the use of front and rear sensors. They show how much room the car has in the front and rear when you pull into a spot. As you get closer to an obstacle, the audio tones increase in frequency with one continuous tone serving as a final warning.
