PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps
avoid drive wheel spin and loss of
traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the
system applies the brakes to
individual wheels and, when needed,
reduces engine power at the same
time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose
surfaces, the system reduces engine
power in order to increase traction.
USING TRACTION
CONTROL
In certain situations (for example,
stuck in snow or mud), turning the
traction control off may be beneficial
as this allows the wheels to spin with
full engine power. Turn off the traction
control system through the
information display. See General
Information (page 103). System Indicator Lights and
Messages WARNING
If a failure has been detected
within the AdvanceTrac system,
the stability control light will
illuminate steadily. Verify that the
AdvanceTrac system was not
manually disabled through the
information display. If the stability
control light still illuminates steadily,
have the system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately.
Operating your vehicle with
AdvanceTrac disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death. The stability control light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes
when a driving condition activates the
stability system. The stability control off light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and stays on
when you turn the traction control
system off.
When you turn the traction control
system off or on, a message appears
in the information display showing
system status.

When automatic steering is finished,
the touch screen displays a message
and a chime sounds, indicating that
the active park assist process is done.
The driver is responsible for checking
the parking job and making any
necessary corrections before putting
the transmission in P (Park).
Deactivating the Park Assist
Feature
The system can be deactivated
manually by:
• pressing the active park assist
button
• grabbing the steering wheel
• driving above approximately 50
mph (80 km/h) for 30 seconds
during an active park search •
driving above 6 mph (10 km/h)
during automatic steering
• turning off the traction control
system.
Certain vehicle conditions can also
deactivate the system, such as:
• Traction control has activated on
a slippery or loose surface.
• There is an anti-lock brake system
activation or failure.
• Something touches the steering
wheel.
If a problem occurs with the system,
a warning message is displayed,
followed by a chime. Occasional
system messages may occur in
normal operation. For recurring or
frequent system faults, contact an
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
serviced.
Troubleshooting the System The system does not look for a space
The traction control system may be off
The transmission is in R (Reverse); the vehicle must be moving forward to
detect a parking space The system does not offer a particular space
Something may be contacting the front bumper or side sensors
There is not enough room on both sides of the vehicle in order to park

Active guidelines are only shown with
fixed guidelines. To use active
guidelines, turn the steering wheel to
point the guidelines toward an
intended path. If the steering wheel
position is changed while reversing,
the vehicle might deviate from the
original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade
in and out depending on the steering
wheel position. The active guidelines
are not shown when the steering
wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to
your vehicle and objects in the green
zone are farther away. Objects are
getting closer to your vehicle as they
move from the green zone to the
yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get
better coverage on both sides and rear
of the vehicle.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ACTIVE + FIXED, FIXED and OFF.
Visual Park Aid Alert
Note:
Visual park alert is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: The reverse sensing system is
not effective at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain
angular or moving objects. The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights which appear on top of the
video image when an object is
detected by the reverse sensing
system. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if
visual park aid alert is enabled,
highlighted areas are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF.
Manual Zoom
WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the
full area behind the vehicle is not
shown. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled,
only the centerline is shown.
This allows you to get a closer view of
an object behind the vehicle. The
zoomed image keeps the bumper in
the image to provide a reference. The
zoom is only active while the
transmission is in R (Reverse). When
the transmission is shifted out of R
(Reverse), the feature automatically
turns off and must be reset when it is
used again.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF.
