The side parking aid may not function if:
•
Your vehicle remains stationary for over
two minutes.
• The anti-lock brake system activates.
• The traction control system activates.
• Your vehicle is in park (P).
• The steering wheel angle information
is not available. You must drive at least
492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph
(30 km/h) to reset the steering wheel
angle information.
Note: If you switch traction control off, the
side sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the length
of your vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect an
object that is moving toward the side of
your vehicle, for example another vehicle
moving at a low speed, if it does not pass
a front or rear parking aid sensor.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the side
sensing system provides audible warnings.
When your vehicle is moving slowly,
obstacles are detected within
24 in
(60 cm) and are inside the driving path of
your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the audible warning
stops after a few seconds. Visual indication
is always present in reverse (R).
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the side
sensing system provides visual indication
only when your vehicle is moving slowly
and there is a front or rear park aid
obstacle detected, and the side obstacle
is within
24 in (60 cm) from the side of
your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a
stop, the visual indication stops after a few
seconds. If the transmission is in drive (D) or any
other forward gear, the side sensing system
provides audible and visual warnings.
When your vehicle is moving slowly,
obstacles are detected within
24 in
(60 cm) and are inside the driving path of
your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a

HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to
a complete stop. Stop and go can also be
set to follow a vehicle directly in front of
you and adjust the set speed, while you are
at a complete stop.

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK
The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel,
or aids the driver by providing a small
steering input to move the vehicle back
into the travel lane.
The driver can select one of three modes:
•
Alert (If Equipped)
• Aid
• Alert + Aid
