the vehicle.PASS-Key®III+ Electronic
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has PASS-Key®III+
(Personalized Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
®III+ is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from
the ignition.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the key is turned to
ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY or
START from the LOCK/OFF
position.
You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The security light comes on if there
is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent system.
When the PASS-Key
®III+ system
senses an incorrect key, the vehicle
does not start. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start thevehicle will be discouraged because
of the high number of electrical
key codes.
If the engine does not start and the
security light on the instrument panel
comes on when trying to start the
vehicle, there may be a problem with
your theft-deterrent system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the key appears to be undamaged,
try another ignition key and check the
fuses. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-90for additional
information. If the engine still does
not start with the other key, the
vehicle needs service. If the vehicle
does start, the rst key may be faulty.
See your dealer/retailer who can
service the PASS-Key
®III+ to have a
new key made. In an emergency,
contact Roadside Assistance. See
Roadside Assistance Program on
page 7-6.

2-32 Features and Controls

{CAUTION
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system does not
replace driver vision. It cannot
detect:
objects that are below the
bumper, underneath the
vehicle, or if they are too
close or far from the vehicle
children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
If you do not use proper care
before and while backing; vehicle
damage, injury, or death could
occur. Even with URPA, always
check behind the vehicle before
backing up. While backing, be
sure to look for objects and check
the vehicle’s mirrors.The display is located in the
headliner and can be seen by
looking over your right shoulder.
URPA uses three color-coded lights
to provide distance and system
information.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically
when the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse). The rear display brie y
illuminates to indicate the system
is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less
than 5 mph (8 km/h). If the vehicle
is above this speed, the red light on
the rear display will ash.To be detected, objects must be at
least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the
ground and below liftgate level.
Objects must also be within 8 feet
(2.5 m) from the rear bumper.
This distance may be less during
warmer or humid weather.
A single beep will sound the rst
time an object is detected. Beeping
may occur beginning at 23 inches
(0.6 m). Beeping will occur for
a short time when the vehicle is
closer than 1 foot (0.3 m) from the
object.
Features and Controls 2-35

The following describes how the URPA display lights appear as the vehicle
gets closer to a detected object:
DescriptionEnglishMetric
amber light 8 ft2.5 m
amber/amber lights 40 in1.0 m
amber/amber/red lights 23 in0.6 m
amber/amber/red lights ashing 1 ft 0.3 m
The system can be disabled through
the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See “Park Assist” under DIC
Operation and Displays (With
DIC Buttons) on page 3-46 orDIC
Operation and Displays (Without
DIC Buttons) on page 3-51 for more
information.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate
due to a temporary condition, the
message PARK ASSIST OFF will be
displayed on the DIC and a red
light will be shown on the rear URPA display when the shift lever is
moved into R (Reverse). This may
occur under the following
conditions:
The driver disables the system.
The parking brake pedal is
depressed.
The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle’s rear
bumper free of mud, dirt,
snow, ice and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see
Washing Your
Vehicle on page 5-84 .
A trailer was attached to the
vehicle, or a bicycle or an
object was hanging out of the
liftgate during the last drive cycle,
the red light may illuminate in
the rear display. Once the
attached object is removed,
URPA will return to normal
operation.
A tow bar is attached to the
vehicle.
The vehicle’s bumper is
damaged. Take the vehicle to
your dealer/retailer to repair
the system.
Other conditions may affect
system performance, such
as vibrations from a jackhammer
or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck.
If the system is still disabled, after
driving forward at least 15 mph
(25 km/h), take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer.

(Continued)
CAUTION (Continued)
Do not back the vehicle by only
looking at the rear vision camera
screen, or use the screen during
longer, higher speed backing
maneuvers or where there could
be cross-traffic. Your judged
distances using the screen will
differ from actual distances.
So if you do not use proper care
before backing up, you could hit a
vehicle, child, pedestrian, bicyclist,
or pet, resulting in vehicle
damage, injury, or death. Even
though the vehicle has the RVC
system, always check carefully
before backing up by checking
behind and around the vehicle.
Vehicles Without Navigation
System
The rear vision camera system is
designed to help the driver when
backing up by displaying a view of
the area behind the vehicle. When
the driver shifts the vehicle into
R (Reverse), the video image
automatically appears on the inside
rear view mirror. Once the driver
shifts out of R (Reverse), the video
image automatically disappears from
the inside rear view mirror.
