Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
detects objects up to 5 feet (1.5 m)
behind the vehicle when the shift lever
is in the Reverse position and vehicle
speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Three colorcoded lights inside the
vehicle, above the rear window, provide

operation details.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Antilock Brake System
(if equipped)
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps
to prevent a braking skid. The ABS
warning light illuminates briefly when the
engine is started. Momentary motor or
clicking noises and slight brake pedal
movement is normal as the system
checks itself at startup.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Note:It is recommended that children
not be placed in the front passenger
seat, even with the Passenger Sensing

in a rear seat, including an infant riding
in a rearfacing infant seat, a child riding
in a forwardfacing child seat and an
older child riding in a booster seat.
Traction Control System (TCS)
(if equipped)
The Traction Control System (TCS)
limits wheelspin. TCS activates when it
senses one or both front wheels spin
ning or losing traction. Then the system
reduces engine power and may upshift

TCS is always enabled unless you dis
able it manually to rock the vehicle free
from sand, mud or snow.

again to turn on TCS.
