The sensors are on the front and rearbumpers.
The system may not correctly operate in anyof the following conditions:
•You use a spare tire or a tire that issignificantly worn more than the othertires.
•One or more tires are incorrectly inflated.
•You try to park on a tight curve.
•Something passes between the frontbumper and the parking space. Forexample, a pedestrian or cyclist.
•The edge of the neighboring parkedvehicle is high off the ground. Forexample, a bus, tow truck or flatbedtruck.
•The weather conditions are poor. Forexample, during heavy rain, snow, fog,high humidity and high temperatures.
Do not use the system if:
•You have attached an add-on accessoryclose to the sensors on the front or rearof your vehicle. For example, a bike rackor trailer.
•You have attached an overhangingobject to the roof. For example, asurfboard.

Note:You are responsible for controllingyour vehicle and making sure the path isclear prior to pulling into traffic.
Troubleshooting
Possible CauseSymptom
You may have switched the traction control off.The system does not search for a parking space.
The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must be moving forward to be able todetect a parking space.
The sensors may be blocked. For example, snow, ice or dirt buildup. Blocked sensorscan affect how the system functions.The system does not offer a parking space.
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.

Parking AidsE188012

Possible CauseSymptom
The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than 2 ft (0.5 m) away.
The vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h) for parallel parking or greater than19 mph (30 km/h) for perpendicular parking.
You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. After you reconnect the battery youmust drive your vehicle on a straight road for a short period of time.
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the current transmission position. Forexample, rolling forward when in reverse (R).The system does not correctly position your vehiclein a parking space.
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from correctly aligningyour vehicle.
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be correctly parked.
Your vehicle stopped too far past the parking space.
The tires may not be correctly installed or maintained. For example, not inflated correctly,improper size, or of different sizes.
A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.

The camera is located on the trunk near thehigh-mount brake lamp.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays whatis behind your vehicle when you place thetransmission in reverse (R).
The system uses three types of guides tohelp you see what is behind your vehicle:
•Active guidelines: Show the intendedpath of your vehicle when reversing.
•Fixed guidelines: Show the actual pathyour vehicle is moving in while reversingin a straight line. This can be helpfulwhen backing into a parking space oraligning your vehicle with another objectbehind you.
•Centerline (if applicable): Helps align thecenter of your vehicle with an object(trailer).
Note:If the transmission is in reverse (R) andthe luggage compartment is ajar, no rearview camera features will display.
Note:If the image comes on while thetransmission is not in reverse (R), have thesystem inspected by an authorized dealer.
Note:When towing, the camera only seeswhat you are towing behind your vehicle.This might not provide adequate coverageand you might not see some objects. In somevehicles, the guidelines may disappear onceyou connect the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly underthe following conditions:
•Nighttime or dark areas if the reverselamps are not operating.
•Mud, water or debris obstructs thecamera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
•The camera is misaligned due to damageto the rear of your vehicle.
To access any of the rear view camerasystem settings, make the followingselections in the touch screen when thetransmission is not in reverse (R):
•Menu > Vehicle > Camera Settings
After changing a system setting, the touchscreen shows a preview of the selectedfeatures.
Guidelines and the Centerline
Note:Active guidelines and fixed guidelinesare only available when the transmission isin reverse (R).
Note:The centerline is only available ifActive or Fixed guidelines are on.

Active guidelines are only shown with fixedguidelines. To use active guidelines, turn thesteering wheel to point the guidelines towardan intended path. If you change the steeringwheel position while reversing, your vehiclemight deviate from the original intendedpath.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in andout depending on your steering wheelposition. When your steering wheel positionis straight, the active guidelines are notvisible.
Always use caution while reversing. Objectsin the red zone are closest to your vehicleand objects in the green zone are fartheraway. Objects are getting closer to yourvehicle as they move from the green zoneto the yellow or red zones. Use the side viewmirrors and rear view mirror to get bettercoverage on both sides and rear of yourvehicle.
Enhanced Park Aids
Note:The reverse sensing system is noteffective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)and may not detect certain angular ormoving objects.
The system uses red, yellow and greenhighlights that appear on top of the videoimage when the reverse sensing systemdetects an object. The alert highlights theclosest object detected. You can disable thereverse sensing alert if you have enhancedpark aids enabled, you will still see thedisplayed highlighted areas.
Selectable settings for this feature are ONand OFF.
