Parking in Tight Spaces with ix50: Here's What You Need to Know Before Using Parking Assistance Pro
Parking Assistance Pro is a great tool for parking in tight spaces, but it may not work in all cases. Some users have had success with it, with only 3 inches of clearance on either side of the garage door frame from the folded-out mirrors. It parks perfectly centered and about a foot away from the workbenches at the back of the garage. However, if the opening is too narrow, it will stop recording halfway in the door. It is important to remember that you should always monitor what the car is doing and apply brakes just like with the reverse backup assistant without interrupting the process. If you are unsure, try the free trial if available or save your money.
When using Parking Assistance Pro on ix50, it is important to remember that the car's sensors may not be able to detect tight garage bay doors. If the opening is too narrow, it will stop recording halfway in the door and you will need to manually apply brakes. This can be dangerous if you are not paying attention or do not have enough room to safely stop the car.
In addition, some users have complained that Parking Assistance Pro does not always park perfectly centered in tight spaces. It may park slightly off-center or too close to one side of the garage. Again, if this happens, you should immediately stop the process and manually adjust the car's position.
