Gear Up Your Car With Parking Sensors
Since July 2019, it is mandatory for all cars to have rear parking sensors or parking cameras. This rule has been introduced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to enhance road safety.
If you bought a car after July 2019, it is possible that your car already has a rear parking sensor. However, there's nothing wrong with being more careful! You can always upgrade your rear parking sensors, and we are here to help you with that.
If you have an old car that does not have rear parking sensors, you must get them installed soon.
Adding parking sensors to your car would not only help you park more efficiently but would also keep your car safe from unexpected parking accidents. Read on to learn more about parking sensors.
Parking sensors are small and light devices. These can be attached to the rear bumper of your car. These sensors can sense the distance between your car and other vehicles.
If your car gets dangerously close to another vehicle, then these sensors will alert you by making beeping sounds.
Therefore, parking sensors ensure efficient and safe parking for your car.
There are mostly two types of parking sensors available in the market. These are:
Ultrasonic sensors: These sensors transmit sound waves to detect the presence of other vehicles. To make sure that the sound waves can be detected properly and without interruption, these are installed in the rear part of the car.
Some models also include display screens. These sensors cannot detect objects that are too flat or small. So, it is advised that you do not rely entirely on them while parking.
Electromagnetic sensors: These sensors produce an electromagnetic field to detect objects around the car.
These sensors can be placed inside the bumper of the car. So, you would not need to drill holes in the rear of your car to attach these sensors.
It is recommended that you seek professional help to install parking sensors on your car. If you want to do it yourself, these are the steps you can follow to install parking sensors on your car:
1.Keep the main operating system for the sensors in your trunk.
Attach parking sensors to the rear bumper of your car. For this, you may need to drill some holes if you have ultrasonic sensors.
For parking sensors that come with an attached camera, you can install the camera on your license plate.
Install the speaker/display screen of the sensors at a suitable location.
Plug the power source into the operating system. Attach the plug to a constant source of power.
Test your new parking sensors at your usual parking lot. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Finding good car parking sensors at affordable prices could be a tough call. There are many online websites where you can get good-quality parking sensors at reasonable costs. Check the specifications and select the best-suited one.
