PARKING AID (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations of
the system as contained in this section.
Sensing is only an aid for some (generally
large and fixed) objects when moving in
reverse on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Traffic control systems, inclement weather,
air brakes, and external motors and fans may
also affect the function of the sensing
system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in R (Reverse) and
when using the sensing system. This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
The system is designed to provide a warning
to assist the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system may not detect smaller
objects, particularly those close to the
ground. WARNINGS
Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
and any device that may block the normal
detection zone of the system, may create
false beeps. Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
are covered, the system’ s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey®, it is possible to prevent turning the
sensing system off.
See MyKey™ (page 62).
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of the
bumper area. The system turns on
automatically whenever the ignition is
switched on. When receiving a detection warning, the
radio volume is reduced to a predetermined
level. After the warning goes away, the radio
volume returns to the previous level.
The system can be switched off through the
information display menu or from the pop-up
message that appears once the transmission
is shifted into
R. See General Information
(page 112).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information display
and does not allow the driver to switch the
faulted system on.
See Information
Messages (page 118).
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in
R. As the vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible
warning increases. When the obstacle is
fewer than 10 inches (25 centimeters) away,
the warning sounds continuously. If a

•
Driving above 6 mph (10 km/h) during
automatic steering.
• Turning off the traction control system.
Certain vehicle conditions can also
deactivate the system, such as:
• Traction control has activated on a
slippery or loose surface.
• There is an anti-lock brake system
activation or failure.
• Something touches the steering wheel.
If a problem occurs with the system, a
warning message is displayed, followed by
a tone. Occasional system messages may
occur in normal operation. For recurring or
frequent system faults, contact an authorized
dealer to have your vehicle serviced. Park Out Assist (If Equipped) WARNING
Designed to be a supplementary park
aid, this system may not work in all
conditions. This system cannot replace the
driver’ s attention and judgment. The driver
is responsible for avoiding hazards and
maintaining a safe distance and speed, even
when the system is in use. Note:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening if required.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that cause
disruptive reflections.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.
The system determines the clearance to the
front and rear of your vehicle and
automatically steers your vehicle out of a
parallel parking space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly instructs you
to enter traffic. The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front bumper
and the parking space (a pedestrian or
cyclist) or if the edge of the neighboring
parked vehicle is high off the ground (for
example, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
Do not use the system if:
•
You have attached a foreign object (bike
rack or trailer) to the front or rear of your
vehicle or attached close to the sensors.
• You have attached an overhanging
object (surfboard) to the roof.
• The front bumper or side sensors are
damaged or obstructed by a foreign
object (front bumper cover).
• A mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Park Out Assist While your vehicle is at rest in a
parallel parking space, press the
button located on the right side of
the center stack.

The touchscreen displays a message
requesting an indication of direction. Use the
direction indicator to signal which side of
your vehicle you want to exit the parking
space.
Note:
If there is no vehicle in front of you,
the Park Out Assist feature cannot be
activated.
Automatic Steering out of a Parking
Space
The system determines a suitable clearance
to the front and rear of your vehicle. The
touchscreen displays a message to shift to
Reverse (R), Drive (D) or Sport (S). When you shift the transmission into R
(Reverse), D (Drive) or S (Sport), with your
hands off the wheel (and nothing obstructing
its movement), your vehicle steers itself to
exit the space. If there is not sufficient
clearance to the vehicle in front of you, the
system displays instructions to move your
vehicle back and forth in the space. Parking
Aid is enabled to avoid contact to the
neighboring vehicles.
When automatic steering is finished, the
touchscreen displays a message informing
you to take control and a tone sounds,
indicating the completion of the Park Out
Assist process.
Note:
The driver is responsible for checking
traffic conditions at all times. Deactivating the Park Out Assist
Feature
Manually deactivate the system by:
•
Pressing the active park assist button.
• Grabbing the steering wheel.
• Driving above 6 mph (10 km/h) during
automatic steering.
• Turning off the traction control system.
Certain vehicle conditions can also
deactivate the system, such as:
• Traction control has activated on a
slippery or loose surface.
• There is an anti-lock brake system
activation or failure.
• Something touches the steering wheel.
If a problem occurs with the system, a
warning message is displayed, followed by
a tone. Occasional system messages may
occur in normal operation. For recurring or
frequent system faults, contact an authorized
dealer to have your vehicle serviced.

Enhanced Park Aids
Note:
Enhanced park aids is only available
when the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights which appear on top of the video
image when an object is detected by the
reverse sensing system. The alert highlights
the closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if visual
park aid alert is enabled, highlighted areas
are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full area
behind your vehicle is not shown. Be
aware of your surroundings when using the
manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you
enable manual zoom.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only active
while the transmission is in Reverse (R).
When you shift the transmission out of
Reverse (R), the feature automatically turns
off and you must enable it to use it used
again.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the manual
zoom is OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of
Reverse (R) and into any gear other than Park
(P), the camera image remains in the display
until your vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8
km/h). This occurs when the rear camera
delay feature is on, or until a radio button is
selected. Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the rear
camera delay is OFF.
