FORWARD AND REVERSE SENSING SYSTEMS
The forward and reverse sensing system will warn the driver of obstacles
within a certain range of the front and rear bumpers.
The front sensors will be active
when the gearshift is in any position
other than P (Park) or N (Neutral)
and the vehicle speed is below
8 mph (13 km/h). The rear sensors
will only be active when the
gearshift is in R (Reverse).
The front sensors cover an area up
to 27.6 inches (70 cm) from the
front of the vehicle and about
6–9 in. (15–23 cm) to the side of
the front end of the vehicle. See the
illustration for approximate sensor
area coverage.

Keep the sensors (located on the front and rear bumper/fascia)
free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt (do not clean
the sensors with sharp objects). If the sensors are covered, it will
affect the accuracy of the sensing system.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the front or rear
bumper/fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may
be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
The camera system located on the
liftgate provides a video image,
which appears in the rearview
mirror or on the navigation screen
(if equipped), of the area behind the
vehicle. It adds assistance to the
driver while reversing or reverse
parking the vehicle.
To use the camera system, place the transmission in R (Reverse); an
image will display on the left portion of the rearview mirror or on the
navigation screen (if equipped). The area displayed on the screen may
vary according to the vehicle orientation and/or road condition.
