See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-59.
Parking Assist
If equipped, Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) uses sensors on the rear
bumper to assist with parking and
avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). It operates at speeds
less than 8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may
display a warning triangle on the
Rear Vision Camera screen and a
graphic on the instrument cluster to
provide the object distance. In
addition, multiple beeps or seat
pulses may occur if very close to an
object.
The vehicle may also have the Front
Parking Assist system. See
Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-59.
Active Emergency
Braking System
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) it also has the Active
Emergency Braking System, which
includes the Automatic Collision
Preparation (ACP) System. These
systems can automatically brake the
vehicle to help avoid or lessen the
severity of crashes while moving
forward.

Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in
pressure of one of the vehicle's
tires. If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and inflate
the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-14.
The warning light will remain on until
the tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
the tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 10-53.Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and, on most vehicles, displays a
DIC message when it is necessary
to change the engine oil and filter.
The oil life system should be reset
to 100% only following an oil
change.
Resetting the Oil Life System
To reset the engine oil life system:
1. Display OIL LIFE REMAINING
on the DIC. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5-27. If the vehicle does
not have DIC buttons, the
vehicle must be in P (Park) to
access this display.
2. Press and hold the
Vbutton on
the DIC, or the trip odometer
reset stem if the vehicle does
not have DIC buttons, for
several seconds. The oil life will
change to 100%.

IfzFRONT is then moved to
OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield.
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense,
the wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense™
With Rainsense, a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
3INT (Rainsense Wipe
Sensitivity): Turn the
zFRONT
band on the wiper lever to adjust the
sensitivity.
.Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
.Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
Move the band out of the
3INT
position to deactivate Rainsense.
zAUTO (Rainsense On/Off):
Press to turn Rainsense on or off.
When turned on and
zFRONT is
in one of the Rainsense wipe
sensitivity positions the wipers can
be adjusted for more or less sensitivity to moisture. When turned
off, the wipers operate as timed
intermittent wipers and can be
adjusted for more or less frequent
wipes.
When
zAUTO is turned on, a
message displays to show that
Rainsense is on. If equipped, a
Rainsense indicator may turn on in
the instrument cluster if the ignition
is in ON/RUN.
Windshield Washer
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
L m(Washer Fluid): Push the
paddle marked with the windshield
washer symbol at the top of the turn
signal lever to spray washer fluid
and activate the wipers. The wipers
