{Warning
Camera visibility may be
limited and the ACC system
may not work properly if the
windshield is not clear. Do
not use ACC if moisture is
present on the inside of the
windshield or the windshield
washer is used in cold
weather. Turn on the front
defroster and make sure the
windshield is clear before
using ACC. Before driving,
check that the windshield
wipers are in good condition
and replace them if worn.
Accessory Installations and
Vehicle Modifications
Do not install or place any
object around the front
camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front
camera view.
Do not install objects on top of
the vehicle that overhang and
obstruct the front camera, such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be
transported on a roof rack
system. See Roof Rack
System
0106.
Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror and the radar
sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, or mud. These
areas need to be cleaned for
ACC to operate properly.
If ACC will not operate, regular
cruise control may be
available. See “Switching
Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control” in this section.
Always consider driving
conditions before using either
cruise control system. For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle”
under
Exterior Care 0412.
Driver Assistance
Systems
This vehicle may have features
that work together to help
avoid crashes or reduce crash
damage while driving, backing,
and parking. Read this entire
section before using these
systems.
{Warning
Do not rely on the Driver
Assistance Systems. These
systems do not replace the
need for paying attention
and driving safely. You may
not hear or feel alerts or
warnings provided by these
systems. Failure to use
proper care when driving
may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. See
Defensive Driving 0230.

TheXbutton is used to turn
on or off the Park Assist,
which also turns on or off the
Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB) at
the same time. When the
system is turned off, a system
off message is shown on the
display. This message
disappears after a short
period of time.
Turn off Park Assist when
towing a trailer to prevent
unwanted beeps and when a
bike rack is attached to ensure
proper operation.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If a service message displays,
check the following conditions:
.The sensors may not be
clean. Keep the vehicle's
front and rear bumpers free
of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior
Care 0412.
.The Park Assist sensors may
be covered by frost or ice.
Frost or ice can form around
and behind the sensors and
may not always be seen; this
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until
the frost or ice has melted.
If a service message displays
and the above conditions do
not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does
not activate due to a
temporary condition, a system
off message is shown on the
display. This can occur under
the following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the
system.
.An object is currently
blocking the rear sensors
(for example, bike rack,
tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.).
Once the object is removed,
Park Assist will return to
normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer for repairs.
.Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a
jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on
a very large truck, are
affecting system
performance.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
Automatic Parking Assist
(APA) with Braking
If equipped, under certain
conditions APA with Braking
can use sensors based on
sonar technology along the
vehicle’s front, rear and sides
to detect a parking spot, and
automatically park the vehicle
with some driver assistance.
The vehicle will automatically
maneuver into a detected spot
moving at or near idle speed.
It does this by automatically
steering and braking while the
driver is responsible for

acceleration and gear shifting
as needed. The driver must
always be prepared to apply
braking or additional
acceleration, as needed.
A display and audible beeps
help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect
objects in the parking space,
objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link
fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks),
hanging objects, objects
below ground level (e.g. large
potholes), or moving objects
(e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that
the parking space is
appropriate for parking a
vehicle. APA may not
respond to changes in the
parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking
space. APA does not detect
or avoid traffic that is
behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared
to stop the vehicle during
the parking maneuver.
How to Activate Automatic
Parking
To activate APA, press the
soft-touch button or hard
switch
Ofor the system to
begin searching for a parking
space while driving forward at
no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). By default,
APA searches for parallel
parking spaces to the right of
the vehicle up to the sensors’
range of 1.5 m (5 ft). To search
for a parking space to the left,
turn on the left turn signal or,
if available, change the side
selection in the infotainment
display. To switch the parking mode between parallel and
perpendicular press and hold
Owhile searching for a valid

the infotainment display.
APA cannot park in all empty
parking spots. The parking
spot must:
.Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.Have an adjacent vehicle,
wall, or pillar for the system
to align to.
After completely passing an
eligible parking spot, a beep
sounds and a red stop symbol
is displayed in the driver
information center. Generally,

and DIC message should go
off after the road tire is
replaced and the sensor
matching process is
performed successfully. See
“TPMS Sensor Matching
Process”later in this section.
.The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tires. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off after
successfully completing the
sensor matching process.
See "TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
.One or more TPMS sensors
are missing or damaged. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off when
the TPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor
matching process is
performed successfully. See
your dealer for service.
.Replacement tires or wheels
do not match the original
equipment tires or wheels.
Tires and wheels other than those recommended could
prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See
Buying New Tires
0383.
.Operating electronic devices
or being near facilities using
radio wave frequencies
similar to the TPMS could
cause the TPMS sensors to
malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly it cannot detect or
signal a low tire pressure
condition. See your dealer for
service if the TPMS
malfunction light and DIC
message come on and stay on.
Tire Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual
and audible alerts outside the
vehicle to help when inflating
an underinflated tire to the
recommended cold tire
pressure.
When the low tire pressure
warning light comes on: 1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level place. 2. Set the parking brake
firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tire that is underinflated. The turn
signal lamp will flash.
When the recommended
pressure is reached, the
horn sounds once and the
turn signal lamp will stop
flashing and briefly turn
solid.
Repeat these steps for all
underinflated tires that have
illuminated the low tire
pressure warning light.{Warning
Overinflating a tire could
cause the tire to rupture
and you or others could be
injured. Do not exceed the
maximum pressure listed on
the tire sidewall. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling 0367 and
