The system may provide obstacle distanceindication through the information display.
As the distance to the obstacle decreases,the indicator blocks illuminate and movetoward the vehicle icon. If there is noobstacle detected, the distance indicatorblocks will not be present.
When you shift to reverse (R), the sidesensing system provides audible and visualdistance indication when your vehicle ismoving and obstacles are detected within12 in (30 cm), or when obstacles aredetected within 12–24 in (30–60 cm) andare inside the driving path of your vehicle.When you stop your vehicle the audiblewarning stops after two seconds.
Note:Visual distance indication remainson when the transmission is in reverse (R).
When you shift to drive (D) or any otherforward gear, for example, low (L), sport(S) or any forward gear in manualtransmission, the side sensing systemprovides audible and visual distanceindication when your vehicle is moving at7 mph (12 km/h) or below and obstacles
are detected within 12 in (30 cm), or whenobstacles are detected within 12–24 in(30–60 cm) and are inside the driving pathof your vehicle. When you stop your vehiclethe audible warning stops after twoseconds and the visual distance indicationstops after four seconds.
Note:If the obstacle remains within12–24 in (30–60 cm) visual distanceindication remains on.
When you shift to neutral (N), the sidesensing system only provides visualdistance indication when your vehicle ismoving at 7 mph (12 km/h) or below, forexample when moving on a slope, andobstacles are detected within 12 in(30 cm). When you stop your vehicle thevisual distance indication stops after fourseconds.
If the side sensing system is not available,the side distance indicator blocks will notbe present.
The side sensing system is not availableunder the following condition:
•If you switch the traction controlsystem off.
The side sensing system may not availableuntil you have driven approximately thelength of your vehicle in order for thesystem to reinitialize if:
•You switch the ignition on, off and backon.
•Your vehicle remains stationary for overtwo minutes.
•The anti-lock brake system isactivated.
•The traction control system isactivated.

•Driving above 6 mph (9 km/h) duringautomatic steering.
•Switching off the traction controlsystem.
Certain vehicle conditions can alsodeactivate the system, such as:
•Traction control has activated.
•There is an anti-lock brake systemactivation or failure.
If a problem occurs with the system, awarning message displays accompaniedby a tone. Occasional system messagesmay occur in normal operation. Forrecurring or frequent system faults, contactan authorized dealer to have your vehicleserviced.
Troubleshooting the System
The system does not look for a space
The traction control system may be off.
The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must be moving forward to be able todetect a parking space.
The system does not offer a particular space
The sensors may be covered (for example, snow, ice or dirt buildup). Covered senorscan affect the system's functionality.
There is not enough room in the parking space for your vehicle to safely park.
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parkingspace.
The parking space is farther than 4.9 ft (1.5 m) or closer than 15.7 in (0.4 m) away.
The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must be moving forward to be able todetect a parking space.
Your vehicle is going faster than 19 mph (30 km/h) for parallel and 22 mph (35 km/h)for perpendicular parking.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Overriding the System
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding thesystem by pressing the acceleratorpedal, the system does notautomatically apply the brakes to maintainseparation from any vehicle ahead.
You can override the set speed and gap bypressing the accelerator pedal.
When you override the system,the green indicator lightilluminates and the lead vehiclegraphic does not show in theinformation display.
The system resumes operation when yourelease the accelerator pedal. The vehiclespeed decreases to the set speed, or alower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Automatic Switch Off
The system does not operate below12 mph (20 km/h). An audible warningsounds and the automatic braking releasesif the vehicle drops below this speed.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
•The tires lose traction.
•The engine speed is too low.
•You apply the parking brake.
Note:If the engine speed drops too low,the information display indicates low enginespeed. Shift to a lower gear (manualtransmission only) to avoid automaticcancellation.
Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear positionwhen the system is active in situationssuch as prolonged downhill driving onsteep grades, for example in mountainousareas. The system needs additional enginebraking in these situations to reduce theload on the vehicle’s regular brake systemto prevent them from overheating.
Note:An audible warning sounds and thesystem shuts down if it applies brakes foran extended period of time. This allows thebrakes to cool down. The system functionsnormally again when the brakes have cooleddown.
Detection Beam Issues
The radar sensor has a limited field ofvision. It may not detect vehicles at all ordetect a vehicle later than expected insome situations. The lead vehicle graphicdoes not illuminate if the system does notdetect a vehicle in front of you.

Adjust your vehicle speed and the distanceto other vehicles without the need forheavy braking or acceleration.
Efficient Speed
Higher speeds use more fuel. Reduce yourcruising speed on open roads.
Accessories
Try not to add unnecessary accessories tothe exterior of your vehicle. If you use a roofrack, remember to fold it down or removeit when not in use.
Electrical Systems
Switch off all electrical systems when notin use, for example air conditioning. Makesure you unplug any accessories from theauxiliary power points when not in use.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To make sure the front and rear tires ofyour vehicle wear evenly and last longer,we recommend that you swap the tiresfrom front to rear and vice versa at regularintervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles(5000 and 10000 kilometers).
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of thetires when you are parking.
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowlyand approach it with the wheels atright-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreignobjects and uneven wear of the tread.Uneven wear could mean that the wheelalignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including thespare) when cold, every two weeks.
USING WINTER TIRES
If winter tires are used you must inflatethem to the same tire pressures as thoselisted in the tire pressure table. See TirePressures (page 273).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtires.
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Only use snow chains of 10 millimeters orsmaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Vehicles with Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 166).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring systemis not a substitute for manuallychecking tire pressures. You shouldperiodically check tire pressures using apressure gauge. Failure to correctlymaintain tire pressures could increase therisk of tire failure, loss of control, vehiclerollover and personal injury.
You must check the tire pressures(including the spare tire where applicable)every two weeks when the tires are cold.
You must inflate the tires to the correctpressure.
See Wheels and Tires (page 260).The tirepressures are also on the tire inflationpressure label (located on the edge ofdriver door or the B-Pillar).
