Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist✦
Detected objects are indicated by audible beeps when the vehicle is in Reverse. The
interval between beeps becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to an object. When the
distance is less than 12 in. (30cm), the beeps are continuous. The system operates only
at speeds less than 5 mph.
To turn the system off/on, open the Collision Detection menu in the Vehicle Settings
menu by using the audio system controls.
When the system is on, a beep sounds when shifting into Reverse.
Note: The system may be disabled if dirt, snow or ice builds up on the sensors. Keep the vehicle
clean for proper operation.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitor
TheLow Tire Pressurewarning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when a sig-
nificant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of the vehicle’s tires. The warning light
will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle
are listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started and then turns off as the vehicle
is driven in cooler temperatures, check for the proper tire pressures.
Note:The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’t replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
