ParkSmart™ Parking Sensor
ParkSmart is a built-in sensor that is easily activated by the vehicle owner as needed. When the sensor is switched on, it goes to work within 30 seconds after the doors are shut, scanning for objects placed within 8 feet of the parked accessible vehicle. If an obstruction is detected, a friendly audible warning sounds, stating “Excuse me! You’re blocking entry to this wheelchair accessible vehicle. Could you please move the vehicle or object so the owner can access their vehicle? Thank you so much!” This friendly alert system will repeat three times and has multiple measures to enable battery conservation, as well as to avoid activating the alert when the vehicle is in drive mode. The patented ParkSmart feature is available in VMI Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Pacifica wheelchair vans with Nothstar® in-floor ramp systems as a standard feature.
