The perfect helper
In the test, it was positive that the Vega R4S parking aid had two different loudspeakers. The audible alarm sounds when the obstacle is closer to the car. The closer the danger becomes, the louder the acoustic warning sound becomes. The beeper has very compact dimensions and finds in each vehicle a place.
The control box can be installed in an invisible area and also be mounted in the trunk thanks to the loud beep. The useful helper has the advantage that the current comes directly through the reversing light and that the parking system automatically starts when the reverse is used. The plug-in sockets are marked and can thus be plugged together very easily.
Four sensitive sensors
The four A-Class sensors of the 558 gram light Vega R4S parking aid are high-quality processed and notice dangers from a distance of thirty centimeters to one meter. Since, for example, the sensors are irritated and the signal can be triggered, the drive should always be slow when reversing, in order not to trigger a fault signal. In order to prevent the sensors from being washed in a washing machine, it is advisable to secure the sensors from the inside with a hot glue or to glue them directly in the washing line in order to maintain their service life.Particularly with narrow posts behind the car, which can be seen neither in the rear mirror nor through the rear window, the small helper reacts with its sensors immediately.
