WARNING
Do not use the system with anygarage door opener that does nothave the safety stop and reversefeature as required by U.S. Federal SafetyStandards (this includes any garage dooropener manufactured before April 1, 1982).A garage door opener which cannot detectan object, signaling the door to stop andreverse, does not meet current federalsafety standards. Using a garage dooropener without these features increasesthe risk of serious injury or death.
Note:Make sure that the garage door andsecurity device are free from obstructionwhen you are programming. Do not programthe system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note:Make sure you keep the originalremote control transmitter for use in othervehicles as well as for future systemprogramming.
Note:We recommend that upon the saleor lease termination of your vehicle, youerase the programmed function buttons forsecurity reasons. See Erasing the functionbutton codes later in this section.
Note:You can program a maximum ofthree devices. To change or replace any ofthe three devices after it has been initiallyprogrammed, you must first erase thecurrent settings. See Erasing the functionbutton codes later in this section.
The universal garage door opener replacesthe common hand-held garage dooropener with a three-button transmitterthat is integrated into the driver’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features,a garage door opener and a platform forremote activation of devices within thehome.

ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Designed to be a supplementary parkaid, this system may not work in allconditions. This system cannotreplace the driver’s attention andjudgment. The driver is responsible foravoiding hazards and maintaining a safedistance and speed, even when the systemis in use.
Note:The driver is always responsible forcontrolling the vehicle, supervising thesystem and intervening if required.
The system detects an available parallelparking space and automatically steersyour vehicle into the space (hands-free)while you control the accelerator, gearshiftand brakes. The system visually andaudibly instructs you to park your vehicle.
The system may not function correctly ifsomething passes between the frontbumper and the parking space (apedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of theneighboring parked vehicle is high off theground (for example, a bus, tow truck orflatbed truck).
Note:The sensors may not detect objectsin heavy rain or other conditions that causedisruptive reflections.
Note:The sensors may not detect objectswith surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Do not use the system if:
•You have attached a foreign object(bike rack or trailer) to the front or rearof your vehicle or attached close to thesensors.
•You have attached an overhangingobject (surfboard) to the roof.
•The front bumper or side sensors aredamaged or obstructed by a foreignobject (front bumper cover).
•A mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist
Press the button located on thecenter console near the gearshiftlever.
The touchscreen displays a message anda corresponding graphic to indicate it issearching for a parking space. Use thedirection indicator to indicate which sideof your vehicle you want the system tosearch.

System Display
When the system is turned on, an overheadgraphic of a vehicle with lane markings willbe displayed in the information display. Ifthe aid mode is selected when the systemis turned on, a separate white icon will alsoappear in the instrument cluster or in somevehicles arrows will be displayed with thelane markings.
When the system is turned off, the lanemarking graphics will not be displayed.
While the system is on, the color of thelane markings will change to indicate thesystem status.
Gray: Indicates that the system istemporarily unable to provide a warningor intervention on the indicated side(s).This may be because:
•the vehicle is under the activationspeed
•the turn indicator is active
•the vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver
•the road has no or poor lane markingsin the camera field-of-view
•the camera is obscured or unable todetect the lane markings due toenvironmental conditions (e.g.significant sun angles or shadows,snow, heavy rain, fog), trafficconditions (e.g. following a largevehicle that is blocking or shadowingthe lane), or vehicle conditions (e.g.poor headlamp illumination).
See Troubleshooting for additionalinformation.
Green: Indicates that the system isavailable or ready to provide a warning orintervention, on the indicated side(s).
Yellow: Indicates that the system isproviding or has just provided a lanekeeping aid intervention.
Red: Indicates that the system is providingor has just provided a lane keeping alertwarning.
The system can be temporarily suppressedat any time by the following:
•Quick braking
•Fast acceleration
•Using the turn signal indicator
•Evasive steering maneuver
Troubleshooting
Why is the feature not available (line markings are gray) when I can see the lane markingson the road?
Vehicle speed is outside the operational range of the feature
Sun is shining directly into the camera lens
Quick intentional lane change
