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

The Park Assist System can
be turned on or off using the
infotainment system. To view

Assistance Systems
for Driving
If equipped, when driving the
vehicle in a forward gear,
Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW), Lane Keep Assist
(LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert
(SBZA), Lane Change Alert
(LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System can help to
avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System
The FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at
all speeds.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes.
When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped
vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not
provide a warning with
enough time to help avoid a
crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all.
FCA does not warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs,
guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels,
or other objects. Be ready to

Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system
is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side
blind zone, or blind spot areas.
When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right
side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected
in that blind zone. If the turn
signal is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the
same side, the display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this
system is part of the Lane
Change Alert (LCA) system,
read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
Lane Change
Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is
a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
lane change crashes thatoccur with moving vehicles in
the side blind zone (or spot)
areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror
and will flash if the turn signal
is on.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) is
included as part of the LCA
system.
{Warning
LCA does not alert the
driver to vehicles outside of
the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not
provide alerts when
changing lanes under all
driving conditions. Failure to
use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
injury, death, or vehicle
damage. Before making a
lane change, always check
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn
signals.
LCA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone
of approximately one lane over
from both sides of the vehicle,
or 3.5 m (11 ft). The height of
the zone is approximately
between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m
(6 ft) off the ground. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
warning area starts at
approximately the middle of

the vehicle and goes back 5 m
(16 ft). Drivers are also warned
of vehicles rapidly
approaching from up to 70 m
(230 ft) behind the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in
the side mirrors when the
system detects a moving
vehicle in the next lane over
that is in the side blind zone or
rapidly approaching that zone
from behind. A lit LCA symbol
indicates it may be unsafe to
change lanes. Before making a
lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance
over your shoulder, and use
the turn signals.
Left Side
Mirror DisplayRight Side
Mirror Display When the vehicle is started,
both outside mirror LCA
displays will briefly come on to
indicate the system is
operating. When the vehicle is
in a forward gear, the left or
right side mirror display will
light up if a moving vehicle is
detected in the next lane over
in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the
turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected
vehicle, this display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA can be disabled through
vehicle personalization.To view
available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems. If LCA is
disabled by the driver, the LCA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The LCA system requires
some driving for the system to
calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration
may occur more quickly if the
vehicle is driven on a straight
highway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g.,
guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly
or for a stopped vehicle. LCA
may alert to objects attached
to the vehicle, such as a
bicycle, or object extending
out to either side of the
vehicle. Attached objects may
also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is
normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the next
lane over, especially in wet
conditions or when driving on
sharp curves. The system
