Driving and Operating 261
Sensors located in the
bumpers measure the
distance between the vehicle
and objects using sonar
technology. These sensors are
designed to detect certain
objects up to 2.5 m (8 ft)
behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in front
of your vehicle that are taller
than 25 cm (10 in).
Different environmental
conditions may affect whether
and how far the Park Assist
system can detect objects.
Keep the sensors clean of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush;
and clean sensors after a car
wash in freezing
temperatures. Sensors that
are not clean may not detect
objects or may cause the
system to alert when not
required.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is
no substitute for careful and
attentive driving. The Park(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 9 km/h (6 mph). To
prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check
the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before
moving forward or backing.
How the System Works
The vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheatre-like
display on the cluster with
bars that represent the
estimated location of a
detected object and the
vehicle’s distance from the
object. As a detected object
becomes closer, more bars
light up and change color from
yellow to amber to red. When an object is first
detected in the rear, one beep
will be heard from the rear,
or the driver's seat will pulse
two times, if equipped with
Safety Alert Seat. When an
object is very close, five beeps
will sound from the front or
rear (depending on the
object's location), or the
driver's seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for front are
higher pitched than the rear.
Turning the System On
and Off
The Park Assist System can
be turned on or off using the
infotainment system. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings

262 Driving and Operating
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select“Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.
The
Xbutton is used to turn
on or off the Park Assist,
which also turns on or off the
Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB) at
the same time. When the
system is turned off, a system
off message is shown on the
display. This message
disappears after a short
period of time.
Turn off Park Assist when
towing a trailer to prevent
unwanted beeps and when a
bike rack is attached to ensure
proper operation.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If a service message displays,
check the following conditions:
.The sensors may not be
clean. Keep the vehicle's
front and rear bumpers free of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior
Care
0364.
.The Park Assist sensors may
be 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 a service message displays
and the above conditions do
not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does
not activate due to a
temporary condition, a system
off message is shown on the
display. This can occur under
the following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the
system.
.An object is currently
blocking the rear sensors
(for example, bike rack,
tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.). Once the object is removed,
Park Assist will return to
normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer for repairs.
.Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a
jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on
a very large truck, are
affecting system
performance.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
Enhanced Automatic
Parking Assist (APA)
If equipped, under certain
conditions APA with Braking
can use sensors based on
sonar technology along the
vehicle’s front, rear and sides
to detect a parking spot, and
automatically park or unpark
the vehicle with some driver
assistance. The vehicle will
automatically maneuver into a

detected spot moving at or
near idle speed. It does this by
automatically steering,
braking, accelerating, and gear
shifting. The driver must
always be prepared to apply
braking or additional
acceleration, as needed.
A display and audible beeps
help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect
objects in the parking space,
objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link
fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks),
hanging objects, objects
below ground level (e.g. large
potholes), or moving objects
(e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that
the parking space is
appropriate for parking a
vehicle. APA may not(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
respond to changes in the
parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent
vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking
space. APA does not detect
or avoid traffic that is

Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
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 SafetyAlert 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.
When the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), if the system
detects the vehicle is backing
too fast to avoid a crash with
a detected object behind your
vehicle in your path, it may
automatically brake hard to a
stop to help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by a backing
crash.
{Warning
RAB may not avoid many
types of backing crashes. Do
not wait for the automatic
braking to apply. This
system is not designed to
replace driver braking and
only works in R (Reverse)
when an object is detected
directly behind the vehicle.
It may not brake or stop in
time to avoid a crash. It will
not brake for objects when
the vehicle is moving at very
low speeds. It does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects

are possible with a static
installed accessory, such as a
bike rack or hitch-mounted
cargo carrier.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
Under certain conditions, this
feature can provide alerts for
a pedestrian within the
system’s range directly behind
the vehicle. This feature only
works in R (Reverse) below
12 km/h (8 mph), and detects
pedestrians up to 8 m (26 ft)
away during daytime driving.
During nighttime driving,
feature performance is very
limited.
Rear Pedestrian Alert Indicator
When a pedestrian is detected
within the system’s range
directly behind the vehicle, this
symbol flashes amber on the
infotainment display, along
with five beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, two pulses
from both sides of the driver
seat. When a pedestrian is
detected close to the vehicle,
the symbol flashes red on the
infotainment display, along
with ten beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, seven pulses
from both sides of the
