The warning tone continuously sounds whenan object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from thefront bumper.
Note:If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm)or less from your vehicle, visual indicationremains on.
SIDE PARKING AID
WHAT IS THE SIDE PARKING AID
The front and rear outermost parking aidsensors map objects that are near to thesides of your vehicle.
SIDE PARKING AID LIMITATIONS
The sensor coverage is up to 24 in (60 cm)from the sides of your vehicle.
The side parking aid may not function if:
•Your vehicle remains stationary for overtwo minutes.
•The anti-lock brake system activates.
•The traction control system activates.
•Your vehicle is in park (P).
•The steering wheel angle information isnot available. You must drive at least492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph (30 km/h) toreset the steering wheel angleinformation.
Note:If you switch traction control off, theside sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the length ofyour vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect anobject that is moving toward the side of yourvehicle, for example another vehicle movingat a low speed, if it does not pass a front orrear parking aid sensor.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the sidesensing system provides audible warnings.When your vehicle is moving slowly,obstacles are detected within 24 in (60 cm)and are inside the driving path of yourvehicle. If your vehicle remains stationary fora few seconds, the audible warning turns off.Visual indication is always present in reverse(R).
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the sidesensing system provides visual indicationonly when your vehicle is moving slowly andthere is a front or rear parking aid obstacledetected, and the side obstacle is within24 in (60 cm) from the side of your vehicle.If your vehicle remains stationary for a fewseconds, the visual indication turns off.
If the transmission is in drive (D) or any otherforward gear, the side sensing systemprovides audible and visual warnings. Whenyour vehicle is moving slowly, obstacles aredetected within 24 in (60 cm) and are insidethe driving path of your vehicle. If yourvehicle remains stationary for a few seconds,the visual indication and audible warningturns off.
