When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The light may ash red when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept
clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud,
dirt, snow, ice, and slush. Other conditions that may
affect system performance include things like the
vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of
air brakes on a very large truck. If after cleaning
the rear bumper and then driving forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to ash red,
see your dealer.
If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or
an object was on the back of, or hanging out of your
liftgate during your last drive cycle, the light may
also ash red. The light will continue to ash whenever
in REVERSE (R) until your vehicle is driven forward
at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without any obstructions
behind the vehicle.
For cleaning instructions, seeWashing Your Vehicle
on page 5-94.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With accessory power outlets you can plug in electrical
equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio.
There is one front power outlet/cigarette lighter located
on the oor console in the cell phone storage
compartment.
There are also two rear power outlets. One is located
in the rear of the oor console below the vents. The
other is located in the rear of the vehicle on the driver’s
side behind the access door.
Pull the cover down to use an accessory power outlet.
When not in use, always cover the accessory power
outlets with the protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
