The P彡△ symbol inside the car represents the reverse radar (or parking sensors). When the light is on, it means the car's reverse radar system is activated. The main function of this radar is to measure the distance to obstacles using ultrasonic waves emitted by radar sensors, and then alert the driver with alarm sounds of different frequencies based on the proximity to obstacles. Typically, the closer the car is to an obstacle, the more urgent the alarm sound will be, helping the driver better control the parking position and avoid obstacles.
It's important to note that the car's P彡△ button isn't always lit. When the P彡△ button is illuminated, it indicates that the reverse radar is in operation, and when it's not operating, the light is off. Car owners can try pressing this button repeatedly to see if it can be turned off. If it can be turned off, then the reverse radar is functioning normally.
If it cannot be turned off, there might be a malfunction. In this case, you can turn off the car and restart it. If the problem persists, it's recommended to seek professional repair services.
Moreover, for car owners who are not very tech-savvy, consider installing a reverse camera system, which allows the driver to judge the distance between the rear of the car and obstacles directly from the central control screen's display. Used in conjunction with the reverse radar, it can significantly reduce the difficulty of reversing, better avoid obstacles, and is an essential tool for new drivers. Hence, if conditions permit, it is recommended for car owners to have one installed.
How to use the reverse radar:
First, open the driver's side door, press down on the car's brake pedal, and prepare to start the engine. Turn the car's ignition key to start the engine and let it idle. As the car's dashboard lights up and the entire car's power is on, press the P彡△ button located to the left of the central control combination switch, successfully activating the reverse radar. You can then avoid obstacles based on the frequency of the radar's alarm sound, making sure to frequently observe your surroundings.
