When the detected obstacle is about 11.8 inches (30 cm)
from the rear fascia, the warning display will actuate a
continuous tone for about 10 seconds, and it will turn ON
all 8 LEDs, including both RED LEDs, on the correspond-
ing side of the display. The radio will be muted while the
tone is actuated.
When the obstacle is less than 11.8 inches (30 cm) from
the rear fascia, the warning display will either have all 8
LEDs ON (obstacle detected) or it will have only the
outermost LEDs ON with decreased brightness (obstacle
not detected), depending on the location of the obstacle.Enable/Disable the Rear Park Assist System
The Rear Park Assist System can be enabled and disabled
with a switch located in the switch bank of the instru-
ment panel.

CAUTION!
•The Rear Park Assist System is only a parking aid
and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, in-
cluding small obstacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not detected at all. Ob-
stacles located above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close proximity.
•The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the
Rear Park Assist System to be able to stop in time
when the obstacle is detected. It is recommended
that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using the Rear Park Assist System.
WARNING!
•Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the Rear Park Assist System. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind
you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your surround-
ings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
•Before using the Rear Park Assist System, it is
strongly recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is not used for towing.
Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to
vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be
much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia
when the warning display turns the red LEDs ON.
Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the vehicle.
148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:Clean all four Rear Park Assist Sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage them. The sensors
must not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or
debris. Failure to do so can result in the system not
working properly. The system might not detect an ob-
stacle behind the fascia or it could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia.
Assure objects are not within 11.8 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing theSERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEMmessage to be displayed in the instrument
cluster.
Ultrasonic noise from airbrakes of nearby trucks, air
powered jackhammers and air powered shop tools, to
name a few, will cause the Rear Park Assist System to be
disabled until the ultrasonic noise is no longer present.REAR CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED
Vehicles with a Navigation radio may be equipped with
a rear view camera (located on the rear liftgate) that
allows you to see an on-screen image (on the navigation
radio screen) of the rear of your vehicle whenever the
vehicle is put into R (Reverse).
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using the rear camera system. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
If snow, ice, mud, or anything else builds up on the
camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse with water, and dry
with a soft cloth.

Programming HomeLink
NOTE:When programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside the garage. It is also recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency signal.
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea-
tures a driver-interactive display which includes
HomeLink system messages. The EVIC is located on the
bottom of the tachometer.

Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals totime-out(or quit) after several seconds of
transmission which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed totime-outin the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator by using theProgram-
mingprocedures (regardless of where you live),replace
Programming HomeLinkstep 3with the following:
NOTE:If programming a garage door opener or gate
operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the
cyclingprocess to prevent possible overheating.3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button
while youpress and release every two seconds(cycle)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has
successfully been accepted by HomeLink. The EVIC
display will show “CHANNEL X TRAINED” (where X is
Channel 1, 2, or 3). Proceed withProgrammingstep
four to complete.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the programmed
HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,
etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time. In the event that
there are still programming difficulties or questions,
contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-
