Park Assist
If available, Front and Rear Park
Assist (FRPA) uses sensors on the
front and rear bumpers to detect objects while parking the vehicle.
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). FRPA uses audio
beeps to provide distance and
system information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
front and rear bumpers clean to
ensure proper operation.

Park Assist 0189.

Power Outlet 110/120 Volt
Alternating Current
If equipped, this power outlet is on

When the System Does Not
Seem To Work Properly
The RVC may not work properly or
display a clear image if:
. It is dark.
. The sun or the beam of
headlamps is shining directly
into the camera lens.
. Ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the camera lens.
Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft

Park Assist
If equipped, the Front and Rear
Park Assist (FRPA) system assists
you with parking and avoiding
objects. FRPA operates at speeds
less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The
sensors on the front and rear
bumper detect objects up to 1.2 m
(4 ft) in front of the vehicle, 2.5 m
(8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
25 cm (10 in) off the ground and
below liftgate level. This detection
distance may be less during warmer
or humid weather.
{Warning
The Park Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check the
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse) the front and rear
sensors are automatically turned on.
After the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the rear sensors are
turned off and the front sensors stay
on until the vehicle is above a
speed of 8 km/h (5 mph). For the
front Park Assist system to be active
again without shifting into
R (Reverse),
Xmust be pressed.
See “Turning the System On and
Off” later in this section.
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. If the
vehicle is in a car wash, the sensors
may detect objects in the car wash.
See “Turning the System On and
Off” later in this section to turn the
system off.
