2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar Parking Features
PARKING SAFETY
Make sure the following warnings and cautions have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle.
Failure to use the parking system safely could result in damage to the vehicle, or an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
The sensors for the parking system do not detect moving objects, such as children and animals, until the objects are too close. The driver is responsible for driving with due care and attention during low speed maneuvers.
The parking system is a driving aid only. The driver is responsible for driving with due care and attention during low speed maneuvers.
All sensors must be kept clean and free from debris or obstructions, e.g., leaves, mud, snow, ice, frost, or insects. Failure to keep the sensors clean may result in sensor miscalculation or false indications.
The parking system must not be used if a sensor is damaged, or the bumper is damaged sufficiently enough to affect a sensor mounting point. Failing to follow these guidelines may result in sensor miscalculation or false indications.
The parking system must not be used if a sensor is obstructed by items attached to the vehicle, e.g., bumper covers, a bicycle rack, or stickers. Failing to follow these guidelines may result in sensor miscalculations or false indications.
Although the park assist system controls the vehicle movement during a parking maneuver, the driver must continually supervise the system. If the maneuver is not as expected, take control of the steering and make any necessary adjustments.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the touchscreen. See TOUCHSCREEN SAFETY.
The driver is responsible for driving with due care and attention during low speed maneuvers.
The sensors for the parking system may not detect some obstructions. For example, narrow posts or small objects close to the ground. Objects above sensor level may not be detected, e.g., when approaching a flatbed truck, the protruding part of the flatbed may not be detected.
Park assist must not be used if a temporary spare wheel is in use.
Park assist must not be used if the vehicle is being used to transport a load that extends beyond the vehicle’s perimeter.
Do not aim a high pressure water jet directly at any of the sensors when washing the vehicle. Only use approved vehicle shampoo. Do not use abrasive materials, or hard or sharp objects, to clean the sensors. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage to the system or cause a system fault.
Particular care must be taken when using the parking feature if accessories are fitted to the front or rear of the vehicle. For example, a bicycle rack mounted in a position where it obstructs operation of the parking sensor(s). If the affected sensor(s) is obstructed, the sensor(s) only indicates the distance from the bumper to the bicycle rack. Any obstacle beyond the detected accessory may not be indicated on the touchscreen display.
PARKING AID SYSTEM
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the parking features. See PARKING SAFETY.
At vehicle start-up, the parking sensors may not detect low or high objects, even if the objects were detected during the original parking maneuver.
When the parking aid system is active, the system only provides warning tones when a threat is detected.
Only vehicles with 360° parking aid detect objects along the sides of the vehicle. Vehicles without 360° parking aid only detect objects front and rear of the vehicle.
The parking aid system works in conjunction with the camera system. The parking aid system assists the driver while maneuvering the vehicle at low speed in confined spaces.
A 360° vehicle plan view displays detected objects along the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle, when active. Object tracking is also used along the sides of the vehicle, the driver must monitor the vehicle’s blind spots. If a detected object is calculated to be a collision threat, it is displayed as a colored line over a black background. The distance from a collision threat is color coded: yellow to amber to red, with red being the closest. Other detected objects that are not a collision threat are displayed as gray lines.
Any detected objects considered a collision threat will trigger repeating warning tones. The warning tones increase in intensity as the collision threat becomes closer. The warning tones become continuous when the object is within 200 mm of the vehicle. Warning tones sound from the area in which a collision threat has been detected.
While the vehicle is passing an object within its sensor range, the vehicle’s integrated systems calculate its steering trajectory. The touchscreen displays the trajectory lines on the 360° vehicle plan view and the camera main screen. The steering trajectory lines indicate the projected path of the vehicle, based on the current steering wheel position. See ON-ROAD CAMERA VIEWS.
SELECTING PARKING AID
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the parking features. See PARKING SAFETY.
The parking aid system activates automatically when icon¹ is displayed on the touchscreen’s passenger side bar. See PASSENGER SIDE BAR ICONS.
When a collision threat is detected, the touchscreen automatically displays a 360° vehicle plan view. A warning tone also sounds.

PARKING AID SYSTEM FAULT
If a parking aid system fault is detected, a red border displays on the 360° vehicle plan view. See ON-ROAD CAMERA VIEWS.
If all of the sensors are clean and the fault is not rectified after the vehicle’s electrical system is restarted, contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
PARK ASSIST
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the parking features. See PARKING SAFETY.
All of the doors and the tailgate must be securely closed when using park assist.
The park assist system is an aid that detects available parking spaces and maneuvers the vehicle in to parallel and perpendicular parking spaces. The park assist system controls the vehicle movement during a maneuver using steering, acceleration, gear selection, and braking.
The park assist system comprises of two modes:
- Parallel parking: For reversing into a parking space that is parallel to the vehicle.
- Perpendicular parking: For reversing into a parking space that is at a 90° angle to the vehicle.
SELECTING PARK ASSIST
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the parking features. See PARKING SAFETY.
To begin a parallel or a perpendicular parking maneuver:
- Touch the park assist icon¹ to activate the systems control screen. See TOUCHSCREEN HOME MENU.
- The touchscreen displays a park assist screen with pre-detected parking spaces, if they are found. Otherwise follow the instructions on the touchscreen.
- The park assist system automatically selects a parking space for the driver.
- If the pre-selected space is okay, follow the instructions on the touchscreen.
- Alternatively, if the pre-selected parking maneuver is not okay, select the alternative maneuver via the touchscreen. See USING PARK ASSIST.
- The touchscreen displays all park assist instructions.
- To interrupt an active park assist maneuver, at any point, hold or turn the steering wheel. Alternatively, select the Pause soft key via the touchscreen or press the footbrake to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

USING PARK ASSIST
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the parking features. See PARKING SAFETY.
The vehicle must be driven 1.6 ft to 4.9 ft (0.5 m to 1.5 m) laterally from the row of parking spaces or parked vehicles with spaces in-between them.
As the vehicle is driven forward, the size of a potential parking space is assessed.
The park assist auto-searching feature becomes active when the vehicle’s speed is less than 18 mph (30 km/h).
When park assist auto-searching is active, the instrument panel menu displays a park assist auto-search icon¹.
The auto-searching feature detects parallel or perpendicular spaces before the park assist icon² is selected. The touchscreen displays a park assist screen with any pre-detected parking spaces. An instruction message is also displayed.
When the first pre-selected parking space is found, a short confirmation tone is given.
The park assist screen displays any detected parking spaces that are too small or non-maneuverable as dotted.
If more than one valid space is displayed in the park assist screen, touch the preferred parking space to change from the pre-selected parking space.
The park assist system may determine that other vehicles are too close, on either side, to perform a parking maneuver. A detected space can be rejected, even if it is large enough for the vehicle. The driver retains the option to switch park assist off and attempt the maneuver manually.
The park assist auto-search feature aids the driver by searching for any available parking spaces. In order to use park assist, the park assist system must still be activated via the touchscreen. See SELECTING PARK ASSIST.
The instrument panel only displays the park assist auto-search icon¹ when the vehicle is driven under 18 mph (30 km/h) and the park assist system is searching for spaces.
The following images display the different states of the park assist auto-search icons in the instrument panel:
No valid parking slots.
Valid parking space on the right.
Valid parking space on the left.
Valid parking spaces on both sides.
A parking space has been seen, but is non-maneuverable.
For all park assist modes, follow the instructions on the touchscreen until the maneuver is complete.
A park assist maneuver maybe interrupted by the following:
- The park assist system detects a potential collision risk.
- Driver input via the steering wheel.
- Vehicle pedals actuation. For example, the driver presses the brake pedal.
- Gear selection intervention.
- The vehicle doors or tailgate are open.
- The Pause soft key is selected via the touchscreen.
In the event of a park assist maneuver interruption the driver can resume the maneuver by selecting the Resume soft key.
If the park assist maneuver is interrupted for too long without any driver input, the park assist maneuver is automatically canceled and will have to begin the process again.
A park assist maneuver cancels if:
- The displayed Cancel soft key is selected via the touchscreen.
- There is an internal system or sensor fault present.
- A parallel parking maneuver has exceeded the maximum of 10 shuffles.
- A perpendicular parking maneuver has exceeded the maximum of 10 shuffles.
- The park assist instructions are not followed.
- Park (P) is selected for more than 10 minutes.
If a system fault is detected, a continuous tone sounds and the touchscreen displays a warning message. If all of the sensors are clean and the fault is not rectified after the vehicle’s electrical system is restarted, contact a retailer/authorized repairer.

PARK ASSIST TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the parking features. See PARKING SAFETY.
The following may be a reason why the park assist system is not searching for a parking space:
- The system may have a technical issue.
- The vehicle may be traveling above 18 mph (30 km/h).
- The sensors may be covered or partly obscured by dirt, mud, ice, or snow.
- The approach angle may not be suitable.
- The vehicle may not be in a location suitable for parking e.g., highway.
The following may be a reason why the park assist system does not offer a certain parking space:
- The sensors may be covered or partly obscured by dirt, mud, ice, or snow.
- The space may not be large enough to accommodate the vehicle.
- There may not be enough space on the opposite side of the vehicle for the front to swing out during the maneuver.
- The vehicle may have been driven more than 5 ft (1.5 m) laterally from the row of parked vehicles.
- The vehicle may have been driven within 16 in (41 cm) to the row of parked vehicles.
- The vehicle may have been driven in Reverse (R). Park assist searches for a parking space only when the vehicle is in Drive (D).
- The approach angle may not be suitable.
The park assist may not position the vehicle accurately within the space if one or more of the system limitations criteria may have been met. See PARK ASSIST LIMITATIONS.
