How the System Works
The instrument cluster may
have a Park Assist display with
bars that show“distance to
object,” driving direction, and
object location information for
the Park Assist system. As the
object gets closer, more bars
light up and the bars change
color from yellow to amber
to red.
Beeps sound to warn the
driver of certain objects that
are detected around the
vehicle. The frequency of
beeps increases as the vehicle
gets closer to the object.
When the object is very close
to the vehicle, the beeps are
continuous. Beeps for the
front are higher pitched than
beeps for the rear. If equipped
with Safety Alert seat, both
sides of the seat will pulse
alongside the beeps. When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The following messages may
be displayed on the DIC:
SERVICE PARKING ASSIST :
If this message occurs, check
the following conditions:
.The sensors are not clean.
Keep the vehicle's rear
bumper free of mud, dirt,
snow, ice, and slush. For
cleaning instructions, see
Exterior Care
0455.
.The Park Assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice.
Frost or ice can form around
and behind the sensors and
may not always be seen; this
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until
the frost or ice has melted.
If the above conditions do not
exist, take the vehicle to your
dealer to repair the system. PARK ASSIST OFF :
If the PA
system does not activate due
to a temporary condition, the
appropriate message displays
on the DIC. PA OFF message
is displayed when disabled by
the driver. Front/Rear PA OFF
message is displayed when an
attached object is detected in
the front or rear respectively.
PA Temporarily Unavailable
message is displayed for
system failures. This can occur
under the following conditions:.The driver has disabled the
system.
.An object was hanging out
of the trunk during the last
drive cycle. Once the object
is removed, RPA will return
to normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer to repair the system.
.Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a
jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on

Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If equipped, vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
have the Backing Warning
System and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB)
system. When in R (Reverse),
Backing Warning alerts of rear
objects at vehicle speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph),
and RAB may automatically
brake hard at speeds between
1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).
The Backing Warning System
will beep once from the rear
when an object is first
detected, or pulse twice on
both sides of the Safety Alert
Seat. When the system
detects a potential crash,
beeps will be heard from the
rear, or five pulses will be felt
on both sides of the Safety Alert Seat. There may also be
a brief, sharp application of
the brakes.
{Warning
The Backing Warning
System only operates at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). It does not detect
children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from
the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher
backing speeds, there may
not be enough time for the
short, sharp application of
the vehicle brake system to
occur. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage,
even with the Backing
Warning System, always
check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.

Assistance Systems
for Driving
If equipped, when driving the
vehicle in a forward gear,
Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert
(SBZA), Lane Change Alert
(LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System can help to
avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System
The FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert
on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately
60 m (197 ft) and operates at
speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph).
If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can
detect vehicles to distances of
approximately 110 m (360 ft)
and operates at all speeds.
See Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
0304.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes.
When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped
vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not
provide a warning with
enough time to help avoid a
crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all.
FCA does not warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs,
guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels,
or other objects. Be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0235.
FCA can be disabled through
vehicle personalization. To
