Fog Lights — If Equipped
The fog light switch is located on the center
stack of the instrument panel, just below the
climate controls. Press the switch once to turn
the fog lights on. Press the switch a second time to turn
the fog lights off.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows
on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE: If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Parking Lights
These lights can only be turned on with ignition key in
the STOP position or removed, by moving the end of the
multifunction lever to O (off) position and then to the
headlight position.
The warning light telltale in the instrument panel comes
on. The lights stay on until the next ignition cycle is
performed.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond
the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash five
times then automatically turn off.
High Beam/Low Beam Select Switch
Pull the multifunction lever toward you to switch the
headlights to high beam. Pull the lever a second time to
switch the headlights back to low beam.

PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist system provides an
audible indication of the distance between the rear
fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle when backing up,
e.g. during a parking maneuver. Refer to ParkSense®
System Usage Precautions for limitations of this system
and recommendations.
The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist is automatically acti-
vated when the transmission is placed into REVERSE. As
the distance from an obstacle behind the vehicle de-
creases, the audible alert becomes more frequent.Interaction With Trailer Towing
The Rear Park Assist system is automatically deactivated
when a trailer is hitched to the vehicle. The system will be
automatically activated as soon as the trailer is removed.
ParkSense® Rear Park Assist Sensors
The four ParkSense® Rear Park Assist sensors, located in
the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The
sensors can detect obstacles, in the horizontal direction,
from approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 55 in (140 cm)
from the center of the rear fascia/bumper and up to 24 in
(60 cm) from the corners of the rear fascia/bumper,
depending on the location, type and orientation of the
obstacle.
106 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

If several obstacles are detected, the ParkSense® Rear
Park Assist system indicates the nearest obstacle.
The minimum height of a detectable obstacle corresponds
to the maximum height of an obstacle that would clear the
underside of the car during the parking maneuver.
ParkSense® Rear Park Assist Alerts
If an obstacle is behind the vehicle when REVERSE gear
is engaged, an audible alert is activated.
The tones emitted by the loudspeaker inform the driver
that the vehicle is approaching an obstacle. The pauses
between the tones are directly proportional to the dis-
tance from the obstacle. Pulses emitted in quick succes-
sion indicate the presence of a very close obstacle. A
continuous tone indicates that the obstacle is less than
12 in (30 cm) away.

Audible And Visual Signals Supplied By The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
SIGNALMEANING INDICATION
Obstacle Distance An obstacle is present within the
sensors’ field of view Audible signal
(dashboard loudspeaker)
• Sound pulses emitted at a rate that
increases as the distance decreases.
• Emits continuous tone at 12 in (30 cm).
• Adjustable volume level programmable
through personal settings in the EVIC.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) Setup Menu” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel”.
Failure Sensor or System failures Visual Signal(instrument panel)
• Icon appears on display.
• Message is displayed on multifunction
display (where provided).
108 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not
muted.
The audible signal is turned off immediately if the
distance increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the
distance measured by the inner sensors is constant. If this
condition occurs for the external sensors, the signal is
turned off after three seconds (stopping warnings during
maneuvers parallel to walls).
ParkSense® Rear Park Assist Failure Indications
A malfunction of the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist sen-
sors or system is indicated, during REVERSE gear en-
gagement, by the instrument panel warning icon.The warning icon is illuminated and a message
is displayed on the multifunction display (if
equipped). Refer to “Instrument Cluster De-
scriptions” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indi-
cated immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor
is in failure condition, the instrument cluster display shall
indicate that the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist system is
unavailable, without reference to the sensor in failure
condition. If even a single sensor fails, the entire system
must be disabled. The system is turned off automatically.
Cleaning The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
System
Clean the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist sensors with
water, car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough
or hard cloths. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly
keeping the vapor jet/high pressure washing nozzles at
least 4 in (10 cm) from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke
the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.

ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt
or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Rear Park Assist.
• Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them. The sensors must
not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or
debris. Failure to do so can result in the system not
working properly. The Rear Park Assist system might
not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper. •
Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing a failure indication to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense® is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below
the sensors will not be detected when they are in
close proximity.
