Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Note:If the parking aid sensors aremisaligned due to vehicle bumper damageit will cause reduced performance or falseactivation.
The rear parking aid sensors turn onautomatically when you move thetransmission selector lever to R (reverse)and your vehicle is moving at a speed ofless than 3 mph (5 km/h). Moving yourvehicle closer to a large object will increasethe audible warning repeat rate. When theobject is less than 12 inches (30centimeters) from the center of yourvehicle’s rear bumper the audible warningwill sound continuously.
Sensor coverage area is up to 71in (180 cm) from the rearbumper.
A
Note:There is a decreased coverage areaat the outer corners.
The system detects large objects whenyou move the transmission selector leverto R (reverse):
•Your vehicle is moving backward at lowspeed.
•Your vehicle is stationary but an objectis approaching the rear of your vehicleat a low speed.
•Your vehicle is moving backward at lowspeed and an object is approaching therear of your vehicle at a low speed.
Note:If your vehicle remains stationary fortwo seconds the audible tone will mute. Ifyour vehicle moves backward, you will hearthe tone again.
Move the transmission selector lever fromR (reverse) or press the parking aid buttonto switch the system off. If a fault ispresent in the system, a warning messageappears in the information display anddoes not allow you to switch the systemon. See Information Messages (page96).
FRONT PARKING AID

Traffic control systems, inclementweather, air brakes and externalmotors and fans may affect correctoperation of the sensing system; this mayinclude reduced performance or a falsealerts.
Front Sensing System
The front sensors are active when thetransmission is in any position other thanpark (P).
You can also press the parking aid buttonto switch the front parking aid system onwithout selecting reverse (R).
Note:Keep the sensors located on thebumper or fascia free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. If the sensorsare covered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors withsharp objects.
Note:If your vehicle sustains damage tothe bumper or fascia, leaving it misalignedor bent, the sensing zone may be alteredcausing inaccurate measurement ofobstacles or false beeps.
When the parking aid system produces anaudible warning, the audio system mayreduce the set volume to a predeterminedlevel.
Sensor coverage area is up to 28in (70 cm) from the frontbumper and 6-14 inches (15-35centimeters) to the side of thefront bumper.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the transmission is in reverse (R), thefront sensing system provides audiowarnings when your vehicle is moving andthe detected obstacle is moving towardsyour vehicle. Once the vehicle is stationary,the audio warning will be stopped after 2seconds.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If
Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distanceindication through the information display.The distance indicator displays when thetransmission is in reverse (R).
The indicator displays:
•As the distance to the obstacledecreases the indicator blocksilluminate and move towards thevehicle icon.
•If there is no obstacle detected, thedistance indicator blocks are greyedout.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
If the gearshift is in neutral (N), the systemprovides obstacle distance indicationthrough the information display. If yourvehicle moves the front sensing systemprovides an audible warning when thevehicle is moving at 7 mph (12 km/h) orbelow and an obstacle is located insidethe detection area. Once the vehicle isstationary, the audio warning will bestopped after 4 seconds.
If the gearshift is in drive (D) or any otherforward gear, the front sensing systemprovides audio warnings when the vehicleis moving and an obstacle is located insidethe detection area. Once the vehicle isstationary, the audio warning will bestopped after 2 seconds.
SIDE SENSING SYSTEM
The side sensing system uses the front andrear side sensors to detect obstacles thatare near to the sides of your vehicle. Thesystem places them on a virtual map in theinstrument cluster as your vehicle movespast them. The system detects obstacleseven when they are no longer in thesensor’s field of view.
Note:If an obstacle approaches the sideof the vehicle without passing a front or rearside sensor, the obstacle will not bedetected.
The side sensors are active when thetransmission is in any other position otherthan park (P).
Coverage area is up to 24 in (60 cm) fromthe side of your vehicle.
When the system detects an object closeto the side of your vehicle, an audiblewarning sounds. As the object comescloser to the side of your vehicle, the rateof the audible warning increases. The rateof the audible warning varies dependingon whether the obstacle is inside or outsideof the driving path of your vehicle.

The system may provide obstacle distanceindication through the information display.
As the distance to the obstacle decreases,the indicator blocks illuminate and movetoward the vehicle icon. If there is noobstacle detected, the distance indicatorblocks will not be present.
When you shift to reverse (R), the sidesensing system provides audible and visualdistance indication when your vehicle ismoving and obstacles are detected within12 in (30 cm), or when obstacles aredetected within 12–24 in (30–60 cm) andare inside the driving path of your vehicle.When you stop your vehicle the audiblewarning stops after two seconds.
Note:Visual distance indication remainson when the transmission is in reverse (R).
When you shift to drive (D) or any otherforward gear, for example, low (L), sport(S) or any forward gear in manualtransmission, the side sensing systemprovides audible and visual distanceindication when your vehicle is moving at7 mph (12 km/h) or below and obstacles
are detected within 12 in (30 cm), or whenobstacles are detected within 12–24 in(30–60 cm) and are inside the driving pathof your vehicle. When you stop your vehiclethe audible warning stops after twoseconds and the visual distance indicationstops after four seconds.
Note:If the obstacle remains within12–24 in (30–60 cm) visual distanceindication remains on.
When you shift to neutral (N), the sidesensing system only provides visualdistance indication when your vehicle ismoving at 7 mph (12 km/h) or below, forexample when moving on a slope, andobstacles are detected within 12 in(30 cm). When you stop your vehicle thevisual distance indication stops after fourseconds.
If the side sensing system is not available,the side distance indicator blocks will notbe present.
The side sensing system is not availableunder the following condition:
•If you switch the traction controlsystem off.
The side sensing system may not availableuntil you have driven approximately thelength of your vehicle in order for thesystem to reinitialize if:
•You switch the ignition on, off and backon.
•Your vehicle remains stationary for overtwo minutes.
•The anti-lock brake system isactivated.
•The traction control system isactivated.

If your vehicleis moving very slowly, you may need to pullforward a short distance before the systemis ready to park.
Note:You must observe that the selectedspace remains clear of obstructions at alltimes during the maneuver.
Note:Active park assist may not detectstreet furniture and other items. You mustmake sure the selected space is suitable forparking.
Note:You should drive your vehicle asparallel to the other vehicles as possiblewhile passing a parking space.
Note:The system always offers the lastdetected parking space (for example, if yourvehicle detects multiple spaces while youare driving, it offers the last one).
Note:If driven above approximately 22 mph(35 km/h), the system shows a message toalert you to reduce your vehicle speed.
Automatic Steering into Parking Space
Note:If your vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph(9 km/h) or an object interrupts a maneuverbefore completion, the automatic steeringfunction switches off and you need to takefull control of your vehicle.
When you shift the transmission intoreverse (R), with your hands off the wheel(and nothing obstructing its movement),your vehicle steers itself into the space.The system displays instructions to moveyour vehicle back and forth in the space.
