How Parking Sensors Work

These parking assist systems are ideal for Harrow’s tight parking spaces, providing real-time feedback to prevent collisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are parking sensors, and how do they function?
Parking sensors, devices you install on vehicles, detect obstacles during parking or manoeuvring. They employ ultrasonic technology to measure distances between your vehicle and nearby objects, producing beeps or visual alerts as you approach. For example, Steelmate’s PTS400EX uses OE-quality sensors to spot objects as close as 0.3 metres, preventing collisions.
Do parking sensors work on all vehicles?
Yes, our universal kits suit all vehicle makes and models. We can fit them to cars, vans, or commercial vehicles. For instance, the PTS400W1 parking sensor kit supports both 12V and 24V systems, offering versatility across different vehicle types.
How do front and rear parking sensors differ?
Rear parking sensors alert you to obstacles behind your vehicle, perfect for reversing into tight spaces.
