If cruise control is being used when
StabiliTrak activates, the cruise
control will automatically disengage.
Press the cruise control button to
reengage when road conditions
allow. SeeCruise Control on
page 9‑38 for more information.
Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axle
can give more traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand, or gravel. When
traction is low, this feature allows
the drive wheel with the most
traction to move the vehicle.
The limited-slip rear axle also gives
the driver enhanced control when
cornering hard or completing a
maneuver, such as a lane change.
Selective Ride Control
The vehicle may have a ride
control system called Selective
Ride Control. The setting can be
changed at any time. Based on road
conditions, steering wheel angle
and the vehicle speed, the system
automatically adjusts to provide the
best handling while providing a
smooth ride. The Tour and Sport
modes will feel similar on a
smooth road.
To switch from TOUR to SPORT
mode, move the shift lever to the
left while the transmission is in
D (Drive).
TOUR:Use for normal city and
highway driving. This setting
provides a smooth, soft ride. SPORT:
Use where road conditions
or personal preference demand
more control. This setting provides
more “feel”, or response to road
conditions through increased
steering effort and suspension
control. Transmission shift
points and shift firmness are
also enhanced. See Manual
Mode on page 9‑28 in Automatic
Transmission.
If there is a problem detected with
Selective Ride Control, “SERVICE
SUSPENSION SYSTEM” displays
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Ride Control System
Messages on page 5‑37. Driving
should be adjusted accordingly.

How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse) the front and rear
sensors are automatically turned on,
after the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the rear sensors are
turned off and the front sensors
stay on until the vehicle is above
a certain speed. The front sensors
may also be turned on by pressing
the park assist button located next
to the shift lever without shifting
into R (Reverse) while the vehicle
is traveling at a low speed.
See“Turning the System On
and Off” later in this section.
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. If the
vehicle is in a car wash, the sensors
may detect objects in the car wash.
See “Turning the System On and
Off” later in this section to turn the
system off. High-toned beeps heard from the
front speakers are for objects
detected near the front bumper.
Low-toned beeps heard from the
rear speakers are for objects
detected near the rear bumper.
When an object is detected, high or
low‐tone beeps are heard. As the
vehicle gets closer to an object, the
time between the beeps becomes
shorter. When the distance is less
than 30 cm (11.8 in), beeping is
continuous. The distance may
be less during warmer or humid
weather.
PARK ASSIST OFF displays on
the Driver Information Center (DIC)
to indicate that UFRPA is off.
The message disappears after
a short period of time.
Front Display
The front display is located in the
instrument panel in the center of
the speedometer and has four bars
to provide distance and system
information.

The following describes how the UFRPA front display lights appear as the
vehicle gets closer to a detected object:Description Metric English
one amber bar 1.2 m 4 ft
two amber bars 1.0 m 40 in
three amber bars 0.6 m 23 in
three amber bars and one red bar 0.3 m 1 ft
Turning the System On and Off
The UFRPA system can be turned
on and off by pressing the park
assist button located next to the
shift lever.
The park assist button lights up
when the system is on and turns
off when it has been disabled.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If UFRPA does not turn on due to a
temporary condition, the message
PARK ASSIST OFF displays on the
DIC, and the light on the park assist
button turns off. This can occur
under the following conditions:
.The ultrasonic sensors are
not clean. Keep the vehicle's
bumpers free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior Care
on page 10‑101.
.A trailer was attached to the
vehicle, or an object was
hanging out of the liftgate during
the last drive cycle. Once the
attached object is removed,
UFRPA will return to normal
operation.
.If an object is attached to the
front of the vehicle.
.A tow bar is attached to the
vehicle.
.The vehicle's bumper is
damaged. Take the vehicle to
your dealer 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.

Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
The vehicle may have a Rear Vision
Camera system. Read this entire
section before using it.
The rear vision camera system can
assist the driver when backing up by
displaying a view of the area behind
the vehicle.
{WARNING
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
system does not replace driver
vision. RVC does not:
.Detect objects that are
outside the camera's field
of view, below the bumper,
or underneath the vehicle.
.Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Do not back the vehicle by only
looking at the RVC 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.
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 a Navigation
System
When the vehicle is on and the
driver shifts into R (Reverse),
the video image automatically
